Is missions still relevant today?

Is missions still relevant? With increasing instability in many parts of the world, a rising resentment toward Western ideas, and huge needs in our own country, you may be wondering if we should still be sending missionaries overseas. It's expensive, risky, and imposing, isn't it?

Perhaps the ways we've done missions in the past need to be refreshed, but consider it this way: How many people alive today have never heard of a God who loves them, a Savior who died for them, and an eternal life waiting for them?

There are more than 3.4 billion people alive right now who will live and die without ever knowing a Christ-follower who could share with them the good news they so desperately need.

That needs to change.

Missions is still relevant because the nations are still unreached. The need is urgent, but the gospel is the power of God.

Join us in this mission. Because there should be no least-reached.
