Post 1: Why We Must Act — 35,000 Souls a Day Never Hear of Jesus

Series Title: Every 2.5 Seconds: Why the Gospel Can’t Wait

🌍 The Heartbreaking Reality

Every day, about 140,000 people die across the globe. Of those, 35,000 to 42,000 are believed to die without ever hearing the name of Jesus—not even once. That’s one soul every 2.5 seconds stepping into eternity, unreached by the Good News that could have changed everything.

Let that sink in.

While you’re reading this paragraph, several people have entered eternity without the hope of the Gospel. This isn't just a statistic—it’s a tragedy unfolding day after day. And it is a call to every believer who carries the light of Christ.

📖 What Does Scripture Say?

The Bible makes it clear that the Gospel isn’t just good news—it’s urgent news.

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”
— Romans 10:14 (NKJV)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
— Matthew 28:19 (NKJV)

Jesus didn’t suggest this mission. He commanded it. And that command wasn’t only for pastors, missionaries, or evangelists—it was for every one of us who call Him Lord.

🔥 Why This Matters to You

Many Christians feel like global missions is for "someone else"—someone trained, called, or funded. But here’s the truth: God called you to care. Whether you go or send, pray or give, share or disciple, you are part of the plan.

We don’t need to be perfect. We don’t need to be famous. But we do need to be faithful. Because the time is short. The harvest is great. And the workers are few.

🙌 Let This Be the Start

This blog series will explore 10 powerful, practical ways you—an everyday Christian—can start making an eternal difference right now. You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can change someone’s world forever.

In the next post, we’ll begin with the first and most powerful tool you already have: prayer.

✝️ Until Then, Remember:

“The Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.” — Carl F. H. Henry

Let’s make sure it does.

Post 2: The Watchman on the Wall: When Silence Is Fatal

God Holds Us Accountable When We See the Danger and Do Nothing In the midst of the growing number of unreached people, one truth keeps rising to the surface— we are the watchmen on the wall . God said through Ezekiel: “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life... I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.” —Ezekiel 33:6 (NIV) This passage wasn’t just for ancient prophets—it’s for us today. We See the Danger We know the truth. We know about sin, salvation, heaven, and hell. We know Jesus is the only way. We also know that  more than 35,000 people die each day without ever hearing His name . That’s the sword. That’s the danger. Yet how often do we stay silent? We are not innocent bystanders. When we see and know,  we are accountable . God has placed us on the wall to  warn ,  pray , and  intercede —not to stay comfortable. Silence Is Not Safe Silence may feel s...

  Support Bible Translation: Every Tribe, Every Tongue Helping the Whole World Hear God’s Word in Their Heart Language If you could only read the Bible in a language you didn’t understand—how much of God’s love, truth, and promises would you miss? That’s the daily reality for millions of people around the world. Of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken today, over  1,500 still have no translation of any part of the Bible , and nearly  3,800 languages don’t yet have the full Bible . That means whole communities live without the comfort of Psalms, the message of the Gospels, or the hope found in Revelation. But God’s plan has always been clear:  “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come”  (Matthew 24:14, NIV). Every nation. Every tribe. Every language. Why Translation Matters God’s Word transforms lives. It convicts, comforts, corrects, and encourages. When the Bible becomes available in ...
