PLAN, HOPE AND AMBITION OF THE APOSTLE PAUL.
“Is W E C still reaching the unreached?” (W E C stands for Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ.)
The International Director of W E C was asked that question.
Reaching the unreached is very much on my heart, and while thinking about the above question I was led to read the following verses in the BIBLE.
The Scriptures tell us about the Plan of the apostle Paul, his Hope and his Ambition.
THE PLAN OF THE APOSTLE PAUL
In Romans 15:21 the apostle says, “I have been following the plan spoken of in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘Those who have never been told about him will see, and those who have never heard about him will understand.'” (Isaiah 52:15)
THE HOPE OF THE APOSTLE PAUL
In Second Corinthians 10:15 Paul says, “Instead, we hope that your faith will grow so that the boundaries of our work among you will be extended.”
THE AMBITION OF THE APOSTLE PAUL
In Second Corinthians 10:16 he continues to teach, “Then we will be able to go and preach the Good News in other places far beyond you, where no one else is working.” And finally in Romans 15:20 Paul speaks about his ambition, “My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.”
W E C International is an inter-denominational family and I belong to that family, and I must find out where the unreached people groups are!
