Key Verse: Verse 15 – “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Key Words: to every creature
We are told in Mark 16:15 to "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature," which raises the question.
But have you ever considered all the people groups God has created? The potential for witnessing and sharing the good news of salvation is endless.
There are 197 million square miles, 29.2% land, 70.8% water in area. Population of 7 billion people. There are over 900 million people speak Chinese; 400 million speak English; then comes Hindustani, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, German, Portuguese, Japanese, French, Italian and numerous dialects. In economy, population growth is rampant in most third-world nations, such as Africa, Asia, and South America which is one human cause of a poor economy in those nations. Third-world nations are those not aligned with the Western or Eastern blocs-oil dictates most countries' economic level. Regarding politics, dictatorships are the most rampant form of politics.
This occurs in your Middle Eastern, African and Asian countries, which has a great impact on our mission endeavors to take God's Word into these areas. Regarding religion, 1 billion people claim to be secular atheists, 780 million Muslims, 725 million Catholics, 560 million Hindus, 387 million Protestants (this includes Baptists which are not really Protestants), 331 million Buddhists, 325 million Confucians, 186 million Eastern Orthodox, 66 million Animists, 55 million Shintoists, and 18 million Jews.
Surely the fields are white unto harvest.
