Internationals Live Sent
In last week’s episode, we looked at God’s call of living sent. In this episode, we will talk about how internationals live sent. It’s one of the reasons why we need to reaching internationals and including them in the church here in the USA; allowing the church here to be as the church is in heaven.
In our previous episodes, we talked to David from Ghana. David is a great example of someone arriving in the US absent to the gospel and becoming an ambassador for the gospel. His story showcases how internationals live sent. David is one of the countless internationals who were so radically saved by God that they can’t be made to sit down. Here’s a story of how God brings one man from Ghana to the USA, where he receives God and becomes an ambassador for the gospel. And now over 60,000 people in Ghana know about Jesus as a result of God bringing David to the USA.
Research shows that there is one believer in the Lord Jesus Christ for every 18,000 people in India. The only difference between our access to the gospel and their lack of access to the gospel is our place of birth. Everyone ought to have access to the gospel.
And how will the great commission that Jesus gave us over 2,000 years ago be fulfilled? We need internationals in our church here in America. We need internationals that are being radically saved and becoming ambassadors for the gospel to encourage Americans not to receive Jesus then just sit down. We need internationals in our church because internationals live sent.
