One of the most overwhelming tasks placed on the shoulders
of human beings is the taking of the gospel worldwide. It’s incredible to see
how a few ordinary people, who have been with Jesus, take what they have
experienced and share it with those who need to hear it.
Some people not only don’t care about the gospel, but often
try to stop those who carry the Good News. And if hardened hearts darkened by
sin is not enough of a barrier to understanding the gospel, add to that an
almost infinite mixture of perspectives, attitudes, behaviors, and languages.
This is the task God’s Son has left in the hands of His followers. What an
awesome calling!
In Hebrews 12, believers are encouraged to run the race like those who have gone before. By faith, many have seen the power of God
penetrate cultural barriers, enlighten hearts lost in darkness, and transform
lives that are slaves to sin.
And this brings us to one of the basic reasons for the
existence of Asia International Mission. To carry the gospel cross-culturally
seems to be an overwhelming responsibility, yet AIM is there to encourage and
enable local ministries called to this task to see in practical terms that
Christ does have authority in heaven and earth, and His presence will continue until
His task is done.
