Let me see my mission field 
All around each day
Fill my heart will Jesus' love
Use me, Lord I pray.

Revolution in World Missions

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body."- II Corinthians 4:8-10

Rochuga Pudaite says, "Eighty-five percent of all Bibles printed today are in English for nine percent of the world who read English. Eighty percent of the world's people NEVER owned a Bible while Americans have an average of four in every household."

Religion, I discovered, is a multi-billion dollar business in the US. Entering churches, I was astonished at the carpeting, furnishings, air-conditioning and ornamentation. Many churches have gymnasiums and fellowships that cater to a busy schedule of activities having little or nothing to do with Christ. The orchestra, choirs, "special" music- and sometimes even the preaching- seemed to me more like entertainment than worship...

The saddest observation I can make about most of the religious communication activity of the Western world is this: Little, if any, of this media is designed to reach unbelievers. Almost all is entertainment for the saints.
