the joshua project

a couple months ago on my challenges and adventures blog, i put up a little box from the joshua project that shows an unreached people group each day. a picture of a person within that group is the first thing you see. then you might notice the population count of the group, whether several thousand or over a million. the language they speak, and the main religion of the group is also revealed.

what an enlightening discovery this has been for me. each time i check on my blog i see another people group who has not had the gospel shared with them. as you might guess, most of the groups are in the middle east and asia. my heart breaks for these people as i see them trapped in deceptive religions of islam and others. i am amazed and saddened at the amount of people are still unreached. thousands, the size of the small town i live in, hundreds of thousands the size of a few counties, reaching up to a million and more, the size of a large metro area. add each of those numbers each day, week upon week, month upon month and we're talking real numbers here!

my heart yearns to reach these people in some way. it is a reminder to pray for these people each day, but i want to do more. maybe someday the Lord will place me in a position to do more, or maybe it is my place to continue to pray daily, fervently for these unreached people.

if you want to add this box to your blog or website there is a link in the box that will take you to the the joshua project website and show you how to add it to your spot.
