Something to Think about

Nearly 1/3 of the world's population will die without ANY chance of hearing the gospel.
Of every $100 given to the church one penny goes to reach these people.
While you were reading that, two of them died.
And four more were just born.
2 billion people claim the name of Christ, while 2 billion others die with no hope, no chance of anyone coming where they live, going where they are, no way to hear the gospel.
Unreached and that is unacceptable. When God is so big and so good and has done so much and saved so many.

Its an old quote but the point is still very alive and valid: "We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first." -- Oswald J. Smith

Easter Blessing:

This Easter I got a special treat: I got to see both my parents AND my grandarents for Easter, so we were all together for Easter, except my brother and his wife, who are still stationed in California (oh the suffering of them with all that warm sunshine). Times when we can be together are few and far between, and with Grandpa recovering from heart surgery, it was an extra special blessing to be able to see him again :) I am so blessed and thankful for the family God has given me.
