How we came to Christ
How we came to Christ
I grew up as a Pastors kid, and came to Christ at the age of 5 years old. I totally committed myself to God at the Age of 18.
Megan grew up Roman Catholic, and got saved at Living Waters at age 12.
Now that you know who we are, This is what we are doing...
Our Calling
Our Calling
Missions Conference
Missions Conference
There was a call for more workers, because they were turning away ministry opportunities
We asked God if we should Go
He opened the door, starting with WOLBI
Once we had an open door, we had to choose how we would get overs...

Our Vision
Our Vision
I hope for my vision to be your vision
My heart is for Global revival, God’s church to be his hands and feet
My initial reason for going was answering a call for workers, but I now have more reasons after a year of studying.
Start slides on People Groups
Explain what a people group is
The largest Group of people within which the gospel can spread as a church planting movement, without hitting barriers of understanding or acceptance (such as language, ethnicity, religion, culture, history, etc.) referred to as peoples or nations in the bible.
11,750 people groups
4,700 reached (3.1 billion people)
Look at China
Unreached 7,050 people groups (4.2 billion people)
Engaged yet Unreached 3,800 people groups (4 billion people)
Unengaged and Unreached 3,250 people groups (220 million people)
each dot on this map is representative of 50,000 people.
This breaks my heart, this is why I want do something.
The largest reason why these areas remain unreached is Christians unwillingness to Go.
Martin Luther King Jr. - Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance.
The other reason why I am going is because I believe all Christians are called to go where they can be used best.
Read quote by Robert E. Speer
This is why I pray for revival, because when our churches are filled with covenant Christians instead of cultural Christians, we will catch God’s winds of grace in our sails and bring revival to these parts of the world that once were filled with churches singing His praises, and now bear the title as peoples unreached with the Gospel
This is our vision, now let me tell you about where we are going...
