What the Holy Spirit has made me understand as someone who is answering the Great commission full time for some time now mostly in the red zones or where people need evangelizing, is what it says in Zechariah 4:6, that is by the Holy Spirit that we can answer the Great commission, as well as Romans 10:14-15 that teaches us that it is by being called that we go. We need to keep teaching about Jesus, praying that people are anointed by the Holy Spirit to get the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit after getting baptized by submersion so they too can be part of the Great commission. 🕊️🙌🙏🏼
I super appreciate your heart brother, I see things so much like you do. However, if the statistics in 2024 are so grim, I think we might still need to focus on disciplining goers to "specific" unreached peoples. You are trying to turn around a huge ship and I pray you don't become frustrated waiting for it to do a 180 because that is about what it would take. Also, it may never turn around. I hope my colleague at the IMB research offices (Jim Coursen) was able to put my book on your desk when you were at the IMB. Also, be encouraged, sometimes the organizations don't run us out, God runs the organization out of us! Many Blessings in Christ!
here's another thing being ignored He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” So tell me, when does the healing and casting out demons happen? It's part of the commanded great commission. Along with speaking in tongues so looks like we are cherry picking what we understand and avoid the supernatural.
Maybe we do give most money to the green areas, but maybe they are green because we gave money and resources. So instead of judgment, rather say it's time for a change? Or am I now being too judgmental?
Wow! God help us get out of our comfort zones and GO

Please pray for me that I and others around me can make multiplying disciple makers among unreached in Malaysia.
