We intend to obey God and finish
2000 years old task...
M4 Missions
among the Unreached Tribes
M4 Missions is the ultimate frontier of missions:
We live in a day and age when we hear so much about missions to the unreached tribes. Nevertheless, the world Christian populations are dropping every year.
Christian Population in the world:
1900 - 34.5%
1970 - 33.4% (-1.1%)
2000 - 33% (-0.4%)
2004 - 32.9% (-0.1%)
Acts 1:8 gives us the categories:
M1 - Jerusalem
M2 - Judea
M3 - Samaria
M4 - to the ends of the earth
M4 Missions is neglected
All ministries are equally important. But M4 is greatly neglected or ignored by the majority of Christian community.
About 0.05% of mission funds is invested in M4 missions. That's about 5 cents for every $100.
M4 Missions is not only targeting Unreached Tribes. It is targeting the unreached tribe in place where there is no access to the gospel. They live in the rural villages which is true M4 Missions. The majority of missionaries who live in the major cities are targeting the unreached tribe as well. Nevertheless, they categorized this type of ministry as M3 missions by US Center of World Missions in Pasadena, CA.
Out of all unreached tribes, the majority of population lives in rural villages. We need to make a serious shift in world missions in order to reach our goal which is finishing our task that Christ gave us two thousand years ago.
Can we finish the task in our generation? It is definite YES! We will raise M4 missionaries to finish the task in our generation.
M4 Missions must be publicized:
We need to make it know to the Churches and Christians. If we can raise about 1581 Churches who will participate in M4 missions, we can finish the task.
M4 Missionaries must be sent:
This neglected M4 missions must be revived. We will do our part to mobilize and train young men and women for the cause.
