Stats can bring perspective. Stories make them stick. Would you help us assemble a few here please? Like these… 70% of evangelical Christians are unaware that there are still people who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Only 29% of Christians believe that reaching the unreached around the world is “very urgent”. 17% of church going people say they have heard AND remember what the Great Commission is all about, with less than 10% of the emerging generation saying they have heard AND remember what the Great Commission is all about. (Learn more about these stats at https://www.barna.com/research/half-churchgoers-not-heard-great-commission/.) Note: Please be sure and provide the source for your stat(s). If it’s from a website, please be so kind as to provide the full URL – not a “tinyURL.” If you share a story from a sensitive field, please be sure to change any information that might link the story to the original person or circumstance. Thanks!

Randy, great point. I like it that you are calling it like you see it!
