It seems to me that with radio and things like that there wouldn't be as much need for people to go to other countries to preach. Besides that, don't most countries have churches In them? W.C.L. A Yes.

there still is a need for missionaries and, In fact, because of the world's exploding population, the need has never been greater. It Is true that radio reaches many people with the Gospel today (as do other means such as television and literature). There also are churches in many countries (although many of them are quite small). But the needs are vast, and it has been estimated that several billion people have never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel clearly. There is no substitute for Individuals who are filled with God's love and are willing to cross enormous cultural barriers to tell others about His love.
