You know the story of the lost sheep in Luke 15? How the shepherd leaves the 99 behind to find & save the 1?
What if the numbers were reversed? What if only 1 sheep was safe and 99 sheep were lost? (Nightmares of youth ministry activities gone awry!)
1 safe, 99 lost. Hold that thought.
Does Croatia need new Bible-believing churches?
Of course they do. Croatia needs more churches, new churches, healthy churches.
Approximately 1% of the Croatian populace has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; that’s counting all the evangelicals and a slice of Catholics who are evangelical-ish.
The 1 cannot sit back, safe & content, while the 99 are wandering, terrified & in danger.
How will the 1 reach the 99? The most effective approach, the approach which most benefits the 1 AND the 99, is planting new churches.
