Question: Sending missionaries to the frontier peoples : the highest priority? Answer: Dear Reader, Paul was called to frontier peoples. He wrote, “I made it my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, that I might not build on another person’s foundation. As it is written, ‘Those who have never seen shall see, and those who have never heard shall hear’” (Romans 15:20). There are zero missionaries among ANY frontier people groups. One day at church a man asked me, “How many missionaries are there in such and such a location?” I replied, “Zero.” He got a bit wild. “Zero! How can there be zero?!” He was so bothered that he and his family applied to Frontiers and became missionaries in that very place. That is how I learned the power of “Zero.” Dear Reader, there are zero missionaries among frontier peoples. Zero missionaries, zero churches. The world cannot end like this, not with the promises of God. Every people, every nation, every language present at the great feast at the end of time. Sending missionaries to frontier people groups is the highest priority.
