Cal and Stacy Kierum

Last week we discussed the mandate for reaching unreached people groups with the Gospel, and how more than 6,000 people groups remain unreached.

So, what does this mean to us here at Elim? We believe that God is calling us to greater involvement with unreached people groups. This year we have added Pastor Nubako Selenga to our supported missionaries. He leads a multinational group of Evangelical Free churches in Africa whose purpose is to mobilize Africans to reach unreached Africans in a holistic fashion.

But we also believe that God would have us further engage in the call to reach unreached peoples through identifying a specific unreached people group for us to focus on. Then, we can begin to pray for and support efforts to reach them with the Gospel.

For each of you who are part of God’s family at Elim, please pray for God’s leading as we prayerfully consider how we may engage more with the mandate to reach unreached peoples. I think back to the task that Nehemiah faced in rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. It seemed like such a huge task until he called each family to work on their own small portion of the wall. When everyone did his or her part, no matter how small, the wall was rebuilt.

Likewise, please pray also for how God would call you to be part of His mission to reach the nations. Consider how you may get involved through intentional prayer, giving of your time or talents or monies to be a sender, or even how God might use you on a mission trip. Consider how you can be part of God’s mission … until every people has heard the Gospel!
