Passion For The Lost by Josh Neese

³What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.² Matthew 18:12, 13

The Bible points out how important it is to have a passion for the lost. These verses point out that the man is happier about the one sheep than the ninety-nine that did not wander off. If the Father in heaven is so passionate about saving the lost, don¹t you think we should also have that same passion? To be a Christian is to be Christ-like and as we follow Christ¹s example. So, who did Christ actually eat, walk, and associate with? The Lost!

Just recently, my wife Tori and I moved from Mississippi to Springfield, Tennessee to work with On The Go Ministries. God has called us to work with a ministry that has a passion for the lost. On The Go literally goes to where the people are; whether it be across the street or around the world. The Bible asks us, ³How can people hear without a preacher?² Romans 10:14

God has not only called On The Go Ministries to go and share the Gospel, but He has also called you! You see, you are called to leave the ninety-nine and find the one.

Daily Prayer Focus: Think about someone in your life that is lost. Begin to pray for this person and ask God how He might use you to bring them into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

On The Go Prayer Focus: On The Go's "Adopt An Evangelist" program. This program provides funding and support for various missions and evangelists around the world.

Thank you for taking the time to pray for this important division of On The Go Ministries. For more information on any our ministries here at On The Go, you may send your questions to info@onthego.org.
