USA (MNN) -- Meanwhile, If you can believe it…there are unreached people in the United States. American Missionary Fellowship is aware of the situation and they're doing something about it. Beginning in March, AMF will begin training missionaries to start US based 'Learning Communities'.
AMF's Ed Henderson. "We believe it's a time in America that we need to create a new spin on Bible studies and we're calling them learning communities. We want them to focus on reaching some unreached people groups in the U-S." Henderson says many Americans and international students on college campuses have never heard the Gospel. He says that's not the only place the unreached can be found. "There are those in our inner cities and our suburbs that are unreached because no one has taken the Gospel into those communities. Neighborhood after neighborhood where there is no influence of the church whatsoever." Full Story
There are kids and adults in our neighborhood who have never seen snow, never been to the beach (even though it is a 10 minute drive away) and have never heard about Jesus.
Who is going to church?
According to Leadership Magazine:
People over 50 are more likely to go to church, but are also more resistant to the Gospel.
Younger people are more likely to have an interest in spiritual things, but less likely to attend church.
