In a position to carry the gospel forward.

The need for Jesus is great.

Lual lives in a gateway community that is positioned to carry the gospel into under-reached areas. We asked him to share why it is so important now to share the gospel in his area.

I live in an area that is within a war-torn country. The needs are great. The need for Jesus is great, and it is important that we preach the gospel in my region immediately. The situation here has left individuals emotionally, spiritually, and mentally devastated.

The ongoing conflict has left many families experiencing both spiritual deprivation and a lack of basic needs. We are suffering from severe poverty. Only the Gospel of Christ has the potential to instill hope amid such circumstances and reconcile us to God. This makes me think of 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 which says,

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling
the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them,
and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19

Further, there is an increasing Islamic influence that is exploiting the economic vulnerabilities of our people by offering people money. My region serves as a gateway to this growing Islamic population. We are in a position to carry the gospel forward here.

For these reasons, there is a critical need for the gospel to be preached immediately.
