Who's Missing? Whose Mission?
IMB's 2009 theme is "Who's Missing? Whose Mission?" focusing on those still missing from God's family and our Great Commission call to reach them. Even after 2,000 years of Christian influence, more than 1.5 billion people are still missing out on the opportunity to hear the Gospel. Many of the world's people missing from God's family live in concentrated pockets of lostness. About 80 unreached people groups still have no contact with the outside world.

The Fatigue Factor
My husband has a demanding job while I work from home. Like many couples, we struggle to balance our marriage, children, church, work, and extended family. God often uses my children to teach me life lessons. One of these moments slowly permeated our everyday life as I realized how similar I am to a child fighting sleep. How many times have I fought God saying, “But I have to get this done.” God, in His wisdom, designed rest for your good, not to punish or deny you.

Feeding hungry hearts beneath the lights of Las Vegas
Las Vegas burns and freezes -- 110 degrees in the day and on some nights it dips into the teens. The city’s homeless and hungry feel every temperature shift in this desert where they go nights without shelter or sleep, find their food in garbage bins and wince from the coldness of fellow humans. “You feel lower than low when you’re homeless. At least people will talk to a dog on the street. If you’re homeless, you can’t get a drink of water or get cool when it’s 115 degrees outside because they’ll run you out.”

WORLD HUNGER: It's time to get personal
When will you get personal about hunger? If we take God's Word seriously, the malnourished and hungry are our problem. Hunger is no respecter of geography or ethnic group. It can be felt in an apartment in Eastern Europe, a cardboard shack in Central America, a tent in the Sahara, or a farmhouse in rural America. Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers are offering nourishment for the body and soul. And every Southern Baptist can have a part in those ministries through gifts to the Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund.
