If you say that Jesus is waiting on the Church to get the Gospel out before His return, let me give you a few statistics on the challenge the Church faces.

We have almost 8 billion people on our planet right now. There are almost 2.4 Christians in the world today.

If 500,000 people were converted to saving faith in Jesus Christ every single day, it would still take 30 years to see 5.6 billion people brought to Christ just to catch up with 2022.

Another Problem: world population is expected to grow to nine billion by 2050.

When Jesus ascended and went back to Heaven, He left a strategy and a game-plan for the Dicsiples that could have reached every person in the known world with the Gospel in 25 years through spiritual multiplication and obedience to the Great Commission.

The Savior's heart must break knowing that there are over a billion people and over 2000 languages today who have never had His Gospel presented to them in their native tongue.
