Many may not know of Operation World but it is an amazing resource for background information in prayer. I share this here as part of 'church history' in the contemporary sense.

This powerpoint presentation comes without an audio ingredient but I think it is pretty easy to follow. I recommend it to any who are discouraged OR complacent.

edit: there are some speaker's notes if you view the powerpoint in creation mode but then you will miss the animations.

"Love perfecteth what it begins;

Thy power doth save me from my sins;

Thy grace upholdeth me.

This life of trust, how glad, how sweet;

My need and Thy great fulness meet,

And I have all in Thee.

Jean Sophia Pigott (1845-1882)

Ron,

Tremendous resource! I have a massive world map that I purchased from: www.worldmap.org I [b]highly[/b] recommend it! it has some of the same maps showing the evangelical population by country. the gospel has spread to every kindred and nation Jesus Christ could come back at any moment. Christianity has spread over the entire globe. But oh the need for the evangelisation of the 10-40 window, the middle east and india, China. But God is raising up many for this, I wonder if he would say to some westerner here on the forums: Go forth! Go ye! and our response could be: Here am I send me!

Our Lord said 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.' (Matthew 25:35). So as you help feed some of the poorest believers in the world in North Korea you are feeding Jesus Christ. And by giving Bibles to those believers who have no access to Scriptures you are equpping believers to be disciples of Jesus Christ to share the Good News with a lost world.
