The message of the Good News of Jesus Christ began on a strip of land along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. From there it spread north around the sea and into the heart of the Roman world. It has since been gradually permeating all the nations, peoples, cultures and countries of the world.

This gospel…will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations. Matthew 24:14

Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20) According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 40 million foreign-born people in the United States. That’s 13 percent of the total population! Many of them don’t know Jesus as Savior. Nor do their families. Truly, the harvest is plenteous…and right before you. And you are His witness!

Pray for the people you encounter each day. Look for ways to show them kindness. Ask God to create opportunities for you to share how God has changed your life! Then pray the nation’s leaders will experience the love of Jesus through Christians they encounter.
