Prison Ministry
Matthew 25:34-40, "Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in. I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You drink? When did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me."

Unreached and Unengaged People Groups

The World

Unreached and Unengaged People Groups
The more our missions team researches the databases about the world's remaining unreached people groups, we are finding information that narrows down our focus of not only praying for the people groups are considered the least reached, but to be able to differentiate between unreached people groups and unengaged people groups. The Joshua Project lists 7,056 of the world's 16,655 people groups as "unreached or least reached." They define this demographic as being less than 2% evangelical and less than 5% Christian adherents. So as of this year that would mean that 42.4% of all the world's languages and 41.3% of the world's population fit into this demographic of being "unreached or least-reached" by the gospel of Christ. The task of completing the Great Commission seems tremendous and even overwhelming if we look at these statisctics. But now we have the information needed to differentiate between "unreached or least-reached" and "unengaged" people groups of the world.
.
The Joshua Project defines this demographic as "unengaged" when there is no church planting methodology consistent with Christian faith and practice underway. The Joshua Project lists 1,367 people groups as "unengaged" by the gospel. This helps our mission team better prioritize which people groups are in desperate need of having missionaries sent to them, who will carry the love and glory of God into their nations and give them the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel of Christ. Of course, the missionaries we are training and sending to the darkest places of the world are not limited by any of these demographics, and will go wherever Holy Spirit is leading them and their teams. But now we can more accurately paint a picture of which people groups don't even have missionaries, churches or organizations attempting to bring them the gospel of Christ.
.
Please pray about what part you play in reaching both the "unreached" and "unengaged" people groups of the world. According to Jesus we are all called to "Go and make disciples of every people group" (Matt. 28:18-20). So whether you are literally GOING to make disciples of these people groups, or you are going by PRAYING, SENDING or FINANCING the Kingdom of God being established, please engage in what the heartbeat of Papa God beats strongly for during these last days, and what Jesus came to the earth to do; to "seek and save that which is lost" (Matt. 18:11) so that heaven is complete by "every tribe, tongue and nation" represneted around His throne (Rev. 5:9). In fact, Jesus will not return until "this gospel of the kingdom if preached in every nation" or people group, "and then the end will come" (Matt. 24:14).

Soaking Sessions and Holy Spirit Parties
Well, our class on the Holy Spirit is going well with the Every Home for Christ mission school students. Today we had a soaking session and then a Holy Spirit party. I simply LOVE learning from our Teacher, the Holy Spirit on Tuesdays and Thursdays with my Micronesian family here in Pohnlangas. I couldn't ask for more than the seventeen hungry, on-fire MDMI students and the ten EHC workers that I get to hang with every week. I LOVE these guys!

Getting Back to the Hebrew Roots

Getting Back to the Hebrew Roots
Every Monday evening we have been attending a class taught be a Messianic Jew who ended up here in Pohnpei. He and his wife have become dear friends of ours and I cruise around with this friend almost every day, asking YHWH where to go and who to minister on that given day. They ended up here on the island of Pohnpei because YHWH told them to sell everything back in the U.S., buy a boat and sail here from Seattle. As we see the plan of Elohim unfolding before our very eyes, we realize that our paths didn't cross accidentally. For there are no accidents in the Kingdom of God.
.
One morning I came out and saw that the tire on our car was flat. I called our friend Johnny, as I didn't have a spare yet, and asked if he could take me to the tire repair shop in town. So Johnny and I removed the tire, put it in his car, and then headed to town. When we got to the tire repair shop, up came a man with a white beard who could very well fit the role of a Hebrew Bible character of old. We began to talk and immediately hit it off. I asked him if I could meet him later that day and he agreed. Come to find out, the tire had no leak. Someone had let the air out. To this day, we think it may have been the Ruach Hakodesh, or Holy Spirit that let the air out of our tire, just so that I could cross paths with this awesome man of faith. Ever since that day, we hang out together all the time. He and his wife have blessed us tremendously!
.
On Monday nights we have been studying the Temple furniture and will start studying the Holy of Holies next week. A group of about twenty Yeshua-lovers that are hungry for more of Adonai gather together in a small house not far from our apartment. It is so important that we remember the Hebrew roots in Scripture and we must understand that the Bible was written from the Hebrew mindset as nearly every author was Jewish. The entire New Testament makes so much more sense in light of this. We are thoroughly enjoying these studies.
.
On another note, it is interesting that the only nation in the world that doesn't need a visa, but only a passport to stay in Israel is the Federated States of Micronesia. I believe that this is because of their unwavering support of Israel. It's not coincidental that we live in the only place in the world with this sort of allegience to Israel. There is a divine connection between Micronesia and Israel. We will continue to pursue what that divine connection means for us more as we continue our journey as missionaries here in Pohnpei and worldwide.
