    Some tartling

    Facts

    There

    are

    2,000 languages

    spoken

    throughout the

    world. Of

    these, over 1,500

    have no

    written

    copy

    of

    the

    Word

    of

    God.

    This

    means

    hat

    approximately

    200 m i l l

    ion

    people have never

    heard

    of

    Jesus,

    and

    never

    w i l l ,

    unless

    someone

    brings God's

    Word to

    them

    i n their language.

    P]|&

    And

    thus I aspire t o preach

    the

    gospel,

    not

    where Christ was

    already

    named,

    t h a t

    I

    might

    not

    build upon

    another man's

    foundation; but as i t i s written,

    ' T h e y

    who h a d no news of Him

    shall

    see,

    and

    they who have

    not

    heard shall

    understand.

    not

    allow

    a

    visiting missionary to speak

    unless

    a

    h urch recommendation can be sh own.

    Since

    i t

    is impos

    sible

    for any

    one person

    to know all

    Christians

    in the world,

    this recommendation

    by a respon

    sible New Testament h ur c h is a ital

    help

    in persuading others

    of

    you r worthiness and

    the

    value

    of

    your mission. Mission Services stands ready

    to help

    you nform

    needs

    on

    the

    field, naturally

    the

    the

    credit in your m issionary ministry. One of the ways hat the

    c h u rc h

    this

    is to share their
