Dear family in Christ, ,
Peace be with you. This February, I would like to share with you a weighty yet deeply real burden: in some corners of the world, the gospel is not being rejected—it has simply not yet been heard.
In the vast Amazon basin, there are often no roads connecting villages, only winding rivers. A single visit may require pressing on through scorching sun, sudden downpours, and countless unknowns. When M2M missionaries finally arrive after such long journeys, their deepest prayer is not for personal comfort, but that someone would pause, set aside the busyness of daily life, and listen attentively to the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. M2M workers faithfully fulfill the Great Commission entrusted to them by God, serving in places where there is no applause and striving to live lives that reflect Christ—building relationships with patience, responding to needs through action, and persevering in prayer as they care for every village and every people group .
We sincerely invite you to lift up the M2M workers in earnest prayer—especially for their health, safety, and open doors for the gospel. We also hope you will join us through tangible action, becoming partners in missions. May the Lord use us so that what was once “unheard” may now be heard, and that even at the farthest reaches of the rivers, songs of praise to God may rise .
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. -Romans 15:20
