How shall they hear

The third of four letters explaining our vision for reaching the unreached in Cameroon, West Africa

Why World Team?

As we shared in the previous letter, it is overwhelming and sobering how many adults and children in Cameroon have yet to hear about Christ and have the Word of God in their hands. We have had the conviction since we were saved 12 years ago to share Christ with people. We were, and still are, so grateful for what Christ did for us 2,000 years ago on the Cross that we want to let others know. It has only been in the last 2 years that it has become clear we should go to people groups that do not have the Word of God and the message of eternal life.

Two years ago, we attended our churchs Frontier Missions class and were asked to write a key word that impacted us during the 12 week class, seal it in an envelope and it would be mailed to us 4 weeks later to remind us. We wrote unreached. In those 4 weeks we entertained many other ideas (within our comfort zone, of course.) However, when that envelope arrived, it brought us right back on track. We knew we needed a missions organization whose sole purpose was to reach the unreached. Some World Team missionaries spoke in our missions class and World Team stayed in the back of our minds. Just 6 months ago, we went on World Teams website and saw how extensively they were reaching the unreached and with vision to reach so many more. It was clear that this was the organization for us.

World Teams Vision

World Teams vision is to bring the Gospel within reach of lost people everywhere they go. As new believers are discipled, churches are established and leaders are developed and released into ministry. Then in turn, churches will plant churches so that multiplication becomes the norm and movements of nationally-led churches transform their own communities and beyond.

Our choice of World Team was confirmed to us during RACE week (Reciprocal Assessment & Candidate Evaluation) in July. There we met and skyped many World Team missionaries and learned so much about their ministries. We were also assessed as to where our God-given skills and passions would fit which was exactly what we needed. World Team has more than 360 missionaries and workers sharing the Gospel in 28 countries among 59 distinct people groups. Their greatest need is for ordinary people who are willing to let Gods love pour out of their lives among the unreached. We are excited to be part of this organization.
