How multicultural our churches are becoming

Richard & Heather Roper - Friday 27 July 2007

One of our staff and one of our supporters were talking to the other day commenting on how multicultural our churches are becoming these days and how important it is to have facilities to be able to communicate and educate those that come to the services.

Unless we speak every language of those that come to our churches we are probably missing opportunities to minister. Sure most of those that come to our churches speak at least some of the main language of the church but when you consider just how much we all prefer to hear our own heart language wouldn’t it be better to have material available in that heart language.

More than this wouldn’t it be great if we could provide our constituents with tools to reach their friend and relatives with the same message of hope that they have.

There are so many opportunities to reach out for the Lord. Take for instance this example:

Ghana Gospel Ministry - by brother Robert

About three years ago I learned of a boy in Ghana that needed a Bible. I sent one to him. Weeks later his friends wrote to me. They did not ask for anything. They just wanted to be friends. I sent gospel recordings to them. Soon other students in their school wrote to me. Then it spread from school to school like wildfire. Over five thousand recordings have been sent out. I still get a hundred letters a month from Ghana.

It is simple to have a gospel ministry - right from your own home. It does take some work and prayer. For less than a dollar, a gospel CD can be sent anywhere on earth. CDs are easy to copy. Start getting addresses today. Punch the names of foreign villages (or language Ed.) on your internet search. Soon you will have lots of souls to reach. God blesses your gospel ministry when he knows that you really care.
