Prayer For The Unreached
 
Our long time friend and ministry partner, Peter Armstrong, who provides leadership to Short Term Missions.com (www.shorttermmissions.com) and Mission Data International (www.mdat.org), recently shared this challenge: 
 
He says, "I discovered there are only 510 people subscribed to Joshua Project's "Unreached of the Day" emails. My family decided to issue a challenge to double the list. We are going to give $1 to Joshua Project (up to $510 total) for every person who subscribes to the daily prayer reminder.  I set up a website for the challenge that you can refer people to: www.prayfortheunreached.com."
 
We are passing this worthy opportunity along to you, asking you to consider making this commitment to pray for the unreached people of our world.

If you are interested in one of these weekends, designed to answer your questions about cross-cultural service, check this newsletter each month, our website, www.finishers.org or www.thejourneydeepens.com .
 
What People Are Saying...

"Dear fellow travelers, Thank you for sending all the information from Finishers. We have landed a job that we believe is of God, an opportunity to serve the poor medically. Thanks you for all you do for the Kingdom."
 
"I just wanted to say Thank You for the helpful info on your web site.  I had been praying and seeking for a mission trip for our church to go on.  We seemed to keep running into walls and not find anything that would workout.  One day after I had been praying I picked up my AFA journal and read about your web site.  I thought this is exactly what I am looking for!  Someone who can plug me in with all of these different agencies.   With the help of your web site I connected with two agencies."
