Beloved Partner,
Missionaries leave home, family, friends, culture –nearly everything they know and love– to follow God to the ends of the earth to share the gospel of the love of Christ.

Senders (individuals, groups, churches) also spend money and time praying for the success of missions. Despite all other pressing calls in the society, this is to support missionaries.

Some people choose not to be part of Going or Sending. They think both groups are fanatics, crazy to be giving up so much for their religion.

Unreached and unevangelized people who are at the receiving end wonder why God cares so much for them. The truth is that they can only see God through the missionaries’ lives and the Mission Senders’ efforts. The cost to the Unevangelized is that they are brought out of darkness to the Light of God, for which they are happy.

Is it WORTH IT?
There is a cost for becoming a Missionary, a cost for Sending missionaries, and a cost for the Unevangelized people to receive Christ. All have something in common- the cost of obedience.

Jesus tells us there is a cost to be counted (Luke 14:28). Who do we obey? Christ or the screaming world around us? What do we have to lose? Nothing. We all have lost everything through our selfish living, but Christ brought us back to Himself and we now owe him everything. “Lord help me to obey you in all things”.

As we invite you to this update, we thank you for consistently partnering with us to reach the Unreached Peoples of our world.

With gratitude,

Tom Ogunleye and Niyi Gbade
