Mission Fields
I saw this term used in a distant thread and had to google it. Here the author gives his reasons for all good Christians to head for the mission fields.

It is so true that we here in America are continually bombarded with Christian witness and ministry. Almost at every turn there’s a billboard or a bumper sticker proclaiming something about Jesus. Turn the dial on your radio at any time of the day or night, and you’ve got non-stop preaching. There are several Christian satellite and cable networks. And there are over 250 different Christian magazines and publications. In most cities there’s a church on almost every corner. I am not trying to say that this is all bad - a lot of it is good, winning many souls to Jesus - but as I’ve traveled overseas, it is hard for me to believe that it is God’s will for there to be so much Gospel preaching and literature available here, while there is comparatively little or even none in many places outside of this country.
The world is going to Hell on every continent! Is it God’s fault that so few are hearing the gospel - or is it the Church’s? Aren’t we who love Jesus accountable to reach our generation with the gospel? A friend of mine has written, “this generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of sinners.” If this is true, then each of us must take a good, long look at our lives and priorities - finding out where God would have us begin to get ready to go!
YOU SHOULD GO BECAUSE, AS OSWALD J. SMITH SAID, “NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO HEAR THE GOSPEL TWICE, WHILE THERE REMAINS SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT HEARD IT ONCE.”
