How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!  Romans 10:14, 15 (ASV)

Then he told them, "As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.”  Mark 16:15 (ISV)

From every Tribe and Tongue and Nation
We recently received our first application from a man from the Ivory Coast, Africa (Côte d’Ivoire) who feels God is calling him and his family (wife and 2 children) to long-term missionary service somewhere in Latin America.  What an exciting time we live in for missions.  The Lord is raising up men and women from around the globe to go to foreign lands to minister to people that quite possibly they uniquely can reach.  May those He has called to stay and support those going remain faithful, not lose the vision nor fall short in fulfilling our part of global missions proclaiming the good news.
