Unreached. It’s a big word,
and it doesn’t only apply to the
people living in the 10-40 window
(the region located between 10 and
40 degrees north of the equator and
covering much of North Africa, the
Middle East, and Asia). The unreached
regions of the world are unreached for
a reason. One of those reasons is that
hardened hearts have been handed
down generation after generation, and
Satan has had a tight-fisted grip on the
souls of many. And yet, those lives matter.
God loves them just as he loves you and
me. They deserve a chance to have their
own game-changing moment.
And so, we go. Not with heavy hearts
to trudge ahead in what God has called us
to do … but excited, knowing he has not
only changed our ministry focus but our
hearts as well. We now joyously live among
the people of Loja. We desire to be a part
of their communities and live life with them.
We want to build relationships and share
Jesus, who, in a moment, was the ultimate
game changer. The people of Loja deserve
our moments. They matter.
Our team recently moved to Loja Province,
and we are settling into our new lives and
ministry. We are training a team of shortterm missionaries who, along with our
team of veteran missionaries, live in the
small towns and villages of the province, reaching out to the lost.
Soon, we hope to begin
discipleship and Bible
studies. Then, we will
train these new disciples to reach their
own communities for
Christ. And thus begins the rapidly growing pace of life-changing moments.
