Lily and Jesus

If I read the Joshua Project data correctly, there are over 2.8 billion unreached people in the world today. 

Over 2.8 billion people who have never heard the gospel. 

2.8 billion people who have
never
heard
His
name.

Not over the past x number of years.
Today.
Right now.
This very minute.

While that number is staggering in and of itself, it became even more weighty when, having recently returned from China, I realized that one of those precious people, created in the very image of God but having never heard the story of His redeeming love, was
my
own
daughter.

In time, I will try to recount what has transpired in the life of my little girl over the past 2 months.

But for now, pray for the 2.8 billion who have never heard.

And rejoice with me because tonight, there is one less.
