CHILDREN
of America.
of America.
"Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord, lift up your hands towards Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street."
-Lamentations 2:19
As I work among the children in America, I can't help but grieve over the thousands, upon thousands, of little ones that are slowly being robbed of their right to know God. All evidence of a Creator who loves and cares for them, who sent His very Son to die for their sins, snuffed out. Kids are told God does not belong in school as public officials ruthlessly remove all evidence that He exists.
We are so blind to the fact that our children are constantly under attack--mentally, physically and spiritually. Satan does all that he can to keep these kids from knowing their Savior.
So often, they turn to whatever makes them feel good. Video games, TV, trashy books, drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex, gangs, or perhaps their "inner power." Anything in attempt to fill, and explain away, the nagging void that only Jesus can fill. But it's all in vain. It is all useless.
Oh Christian! Don't be fooled into thinking the only real mission field lies in the jungles of Africa. We tend think that surely our kids are safe, we must rescue the ones who are really in trouble. Oh, that can not be further from the truth! Our kids may not be dying of starvation physically, but they are dying of starvation spiritually. They too, are perishing.
Not one person, not one child, can be safe until his eternal security rests in Jesus. When God commands us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, He means America too.
How lazy and naive we, as American Christians, have become. If you would get out of your overstuffed chairs, turn off the TV, and walk around your block you would come to realize
We must not turn our backs and leave our precious homeland to die when so little is being done to spread the pure, simple, and life-giving Gospel message...

Without Christ, they have no. hope.

the mission field
is much
closer than you think!
Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

"Our Savior sent His children forth,
to go to every land.
To the islands and the uttermost,
to find forgotten man.
But the most forgotten mission field,
is within our country's shores.

So who will go to America?
She needs Jesus Christ the Lord."
