November 2008 Dear Prayer Partners, At the turn of
the last century (1900) there were 27 churches for every 10,000
Americans. By the 1950’s
there were only 17 churches for every 10,000 Americans, and by 1985 that
figure had fallen to 12 churches for every 10,000 Americans.
Two reasons have been given for this:
Population growth and the fact that over 80% of churches had
either peaked or were in decline. It
is reported that every year in America 2,000 new churches are started,
but 4,000 close their doors.
Our God has
placed three institutions here on planet earth in this order—the home, governments, and the church.
All three of these divine institutions are under siege, and
Satan, through human instrumentality, seeks to hinder in whatever way
possible all three. None of
these will cease to exist; however, the enemy seeks to make them as
dysfunctional as possible, and this is just one of many reasons why we
must become involved in and committed to Home Missions.
Unworthily His,
Wendell & Daisey World Baptist Fellowship Mission Agency Since November 6, 2008 you are visitor number: |
