Matthew 28:19
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

You’ll hear riveting accounts of revival taking place in Syria, Iran, the Sudan, refugee camps across various nations, as well as new accounts of their work with people fleeing North Korea.Many of these accounts have never been heard in America. You’ll be amazed at these life-changing testimonies as you join us for our four-program series “Jesus at Work Among the Unreached.”

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
