Embracing the Call

In this inspiring sermon, guest speaker Terry Keith shares his experiences and insights from his recent mission work in the Amazon Basin and other regions. Emphasizing the urgent need to reach the unreached, Terry discusses the challenges and rewards of evangelizing in remote areas where the gospel has never been heard. He recounts stories of indigenous pastors, community development projects, and the innovative approach of translating the Bible into oral mother tongue languages.

Terry begins by thanking the congregation and expressing gratitude for their support and prayers. He then provides a detailed overview of the Amazon River and the surrounding regions, highlighting the geographical and logistical challenges of mission work in these areas. Through personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions, Terry paints a picture of life in the Amazon, from the daily struggles of transportation to the vibrant spiritual life of the indigenous communities.

The sermon also touches on the recent pastoral conference in Leticia, Colombia, where Terry joined other missionaries to train and support indigenous pastors. Despite facing obstacles, such as the theft of their boat by river pirates, the team remained resilient and continued their mission, demonstrating God's provision and faithfulness.

Terry concludes with a powerful call to action, urging the congregation to pray for the unreached people groups and to consider their own role in spreading the gospel. He emphasizes the importance of going where no one has gone before and sharing the good news with those who have no access to it. The message ends with a prayer for guidance, protection, and open doors for the mission work ahead.
