Church Planting In The United States

Many pastor’s in America are not trying to start churches in America. Why? Because they don’t see the need. Efforts instead are being redirected to nationals in foreign countries and the 10/40 window.  We believe missionaries should plant “indigenous” churches Biblically, and churches should reach the whole world with their missions programs.  The last time I checked the United States was in the world.  If we did foreign missions the way we do home missions there would be no foreign missionaries.  There will always be billions of people who have never heard the gospel in the 10/40 window:

    *  Most of the world’s population lives there. It’s too big
       an area to be called a mission field.

    *  1/3 of it is communist China, and only a few
       underground churches exist there.

    *  1/3 of it is Muslim and people are beheaded for
       preaching the gospel there.

    *  1/3 of it is Hindu, and evangelism is prohibited there
       too.

    *  In spite of what mission boards and missionaries say
       there is no accountability.  You cannot possibly hold
       nationals on the field accountable.

There will always be billions of people in the 10/40 window who have never heard the gospel. Would it shock you to learn that a quarter of a billion people in the United States have never heard the gospel?  Like in other countries we have much religion, but not much truth. Before it is too late to save this country we must get a burden to reach our nation. Click on a link below for prospective from some of the nation’s prominent church leaders.

The Logistics of Church Planting by Art Shady

Every day in America...

  • 11 Baptist churches close their doors permanently
  • 3 Baptist preachers quit the ministry.
  • 2,989 children witness the divorce of their parents.
  • 3,288 teenagers will run away from home.
  • 6 teenagers will commit suicide.
  • 438 teenagers will be arrested for drinking.
  • 211 teenagers will be arrested for drug-related crimes.
  • 2,861 teenagers will drop out of school.
  • 1,629 teenagers are placed in an adult jail for some reason.
  • 7,742 teenagers become sexually active.
  • 2,975 teenage girls become pregnant.
  • 1,106 girls have an abortion.
  • 8,219 teenagers acquire an STD.
    ...we are losing our nation, decreasing in number and sending fewer missionaries to the foreign fields.  We are losing our base.
  • 100 billion dollars are spent on prisons every year.
  • We are the world’s largest consumers of cocaine, heroine, and marijuana.
  • 80% of abortions in the U.S. are performed on unmarried women.
  • 50% of abortions are performed on women under 25.
  • 40% say neither of their parents knew about their abortion.
  • 126,000 abortions are performed every day in America!
  • Since contraceptives have been distributed to teenagers pregnancy has increased 400%.
  • 10 million children in America have a sodomite parent.
  • 19% of high school students have considered suicide.
  • 14% of high school students have planned suicide.
  • The third leading cause of death among young people 15-24 is suicide.

America needs hope, hope that only comes through Jesus Christ. Do we need more churches, obviously we are not reaching America with the ones we have.

Del Fassendfield said America was too young to die.
Lester Roloff said America was too wicked to live!

WE AMERICANS ARE IN THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE OF OUR LIFE!  OUR NATION IS IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN BECAUSE WE HAVE LOST TWO GENERATIONS. WE HAVE NOT HANDED DOWN THE PATRIOTISM AND GODLY TRADITIONS OF OUR FOREFATHERS AND WE ARE REAPING WHAT WE FAILED TO SOW.  THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE LIED TO OUR CHILDREN, AND INSTEAD OF TEACHING PATRIOTISM, ALL THEY TAUGHT YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT OUR COUNTRIES FOUNDERS WAS ABOUT THEIR FAILURES OR THEIR SEX LIVES. THEY HAVE TAUGHT THEM THAT SODOMY IS A NORMAL “LIFESTYLE.”  THEY HAVE TAUGHT THEM EVERY LIBERAL PRINCIPLE AND EVERY ANTI-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE THEIR WICKED HEARTS COULD CONCEIVE.  HITLER SAID, “GIVE ME A CHILD WHEN HE IS FIVE AND LET ME EDUCATE HIM UNTIL HE IS A YOUNG MAN, AND HE WILL BE A SOCIALIST FOR LIFE!” WE HAVE LOST TWO GENERATIONS, THEY ARE THE GENERATIONS THAT WILL NOW GOVERN US, WE HAVE LOST OUR SENSE OF PATRIOTISM, OUR WORK ETHIC, OUR SENSE OF HONESTY AND INTEGRITY, WE ARE LOSING OUR WITNESS AND OUR NATION BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN NEGLIGENT IN SOWING SEED AT HOME.  WE HAVE LET THOSE THAT HATE US EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN AND WE HAVE FAILED TO MEET OUR NATION’S SPIRITUAL NEED.  IF WE HAD SPENT 90% OF OUR TIME PLANTING CHURCHES AND EVANGELIZING AMERICAN AND 10% OF OUR TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND, MAYBE THERE WOULD BE HOPE FOR AMERICA TODAY. WE SHOULD HAVE PRAYED MORE FOR AMERICA, NOW WE SHOULD PRAY TO GOD IT IS NOT TOO LATE!

Would it alarm you to realize that 59% of the land in America is unevangelized? Would it shock you if I told you there are children and young adults in America who don’t know who Adam and Eve are, adults that don’t know there is fire in hell, or who Jesus is. There are a quarter billion people in America who do not know the gospel, many in the Bible belt. The public schools across our land never mention Jesus as generation X is rising up ignorant of the basic knowledge of God, and generation Next right behind them. America needs churches where there are no churches, and churches that are on fire where there are.

We need churches where where the Mormons, Catholicism, Islam and others are leading people to destruction, and in areas now highly populated with immigrants. The mission field is all around us while 80% of all evangelical churches are in the south, and 90% of missions work is done overseas.  Only one in five churches planted in America succeed without help.  For every church we plant in America four close their doors, a thousand pastors quit the ministry every year and untold churches drop their distinctives and become seeker sensitive, or emergent churches.

America will only come back to God if her churches come back to Biblical church planting, and start reproducing (see the ”Logistics” page).  We have to see America as the mission field it is! The cults are actively involved in home missions and they are thriving. Those that have the truth must be equally active in domestic church planting. We have rested on our laurels too long believing God will protect us because we think we are His remnant. He will protect His remnant, but He may also let us be driven underground, or raise up a remnant somewhere else in the world. Great Britain was once the center of evangelism in the world like America is now, but today Great Britain is a mission field because they, like us, did not take domestic church planting missions seriously.

We need your support, when you support us we are able to support the 21st century church planters of our stripe. We can’t do it without you.  We need and covet the prayers of godly Christians. We have the truth, but unless we reproduce at home as well as abroad the truth will not be spread here and we will lose our opportunity to spread the gospel abroad, because we will lose our base! We have not fulfilled the great commission until we have reached our Judea and Samaria too! The light that shines brightest, still shines brightest at home! In America that light is flickering, in another generation it may go out.

Pray for America, support home missionaries, and plant New Testament churchces!

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. – Titus 1:9
