Students Sent!
A year ago, two students from schools that JB and I work at decided to go to East Asia as missionaries. They were back this fall after having a baby, so we took advantage of the time and had them and some SIUE students over to our house so that our missionary friends could cast vision for the world to these students.
There are people who have never heard the Gospel. We encounter them every day on campus—people who have maybe had many chances, but have never truly understood the message of Jesus. There is another kind of people who have never heard the Gospel, though—people who have never had even the opportunity to hear of Christ. They couldn’t trust Jesus even if they wanted to.
Approximately one third of the world finds itself in this second camp. Because this is true, it’s our desire to send missionaries from the college campus to places where the Gospel has never been preached. One of the places that our St. Louis team is committed to sending to is East Asia.
They told us what God is doing in the country they live in—it’s truly amazing, and was a huge encouragement to us and our students!
