Why yes, I'm a Firefighter

I realize that life flies by way to quickly. As Louie Giglio says, " Life is a "snap" and then it's over." If life flies quickly then we had better start accomplishing our life purpose quickly and efficiently. I listened to Louie Giglio talk about "Life purpose" and the reason we were placed on this planet. When he said that 1,637,028,000 people on this planet are unreachable. Meaning there is no missionaries or organizations able to get to these people. In China, 317 of the 500 people groups do not have even Bible portions available in their primary language. People groups, not people.
When God created us we were stamped with a purpose. That purpose is to share Jesus' love and passion with others. To make His glory known.
"Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples."Psa 96:3

In Acts 1, Jesus told us that He would give us power to be witnesses,
8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

We need to make the mark of Christ on our community, nation and fellow nations. We are literally spiritual firefighters running towards the burning rubble of unreached lives. God, give us a passion for reaching lives for You.
Let it be unquenchable.
