10/40

Ok so ive been posting some poetry stuff for the past few days, so I thought i'd give that a break and just share what God is doin in my life.

So if you have been keepin up with my blog, you know that ive been prayin and seeking God in where I should go in this Ginormous world! So yesterday in my Berean class, we opened up talking about how God created man to naturally long for higher power. We talked about how there are people in this world that have NEVER heard the name of Jesus once but yet they search and try to find purpose and put the pieces together.

So i kinda got stuck on that thought for a while and then the 10/40 window came to mind. The 10/40 window is an area of land stretching from N. Africa all the way across to east China, (check the longitude and latitude for more accuracy) and the percentage of people who havent heard the name of christ in that area alone is like 94% Isnt that crazy!!!So i was thinking....wow what if i could devote my life to the people of that area, moving from city to city, nation to nation, raising up leaders and planting leaders in those countries to disciple others to do the same. The hunger for God is there in the 10/40, but the laborers to meet that need is few. The 10/40 is the most unevagelized area in the world, and contains billions of people.So why is it neglected? Because evagelism is restricted and prohibited in almost all of the 10/40. People dont want to take a risk, people dont want to be "uncomfortable." God said to go to ALL the nations, he didnt say go to the ones you feel most comfortable with. So im praying for this generation to rise up and take a risk, to live on the edge, to push the limit and continue to spread Gods word to the world.

So all this was goin on in my head for a good 20 mins during Berean last nite, and then today. I was lookin for some info on the 1040 and came across this website that showed some ministry going on in India (which is part of the 1040) and guess what.......there were missionaries showing the people who Jesus was, explaining salvation, teaching them how to pray, worshipingin the streets, and basically raising up Indian leaders, to lead their own people to live a life victoriously through christ!.

I have to admit that the tears were rollin as i was watchin the video, because that video was a perfect example of what i felt needed to be done, and what God wants me to do, ...Here these people are in a Muslim country openly worshiping out in the street lifting their hands, clapping, praying for healing, speaking in authority, and just plain rejoicing because of their new found hope through Jesus.

But how many more are still out there that havent heard, how many are longing for something more. I can only pray that God would make my path straight, and direct my every step in this whole situation.That he would give me his blessing if this is his will for my life, im so excited to see that God is beginning to reveal something greater than i could ever imagine. Keep me in yout prayers.
