Rescue of Josh Sullivan

Missionary Josh Sullivan, who was recently kidnapped while serving the Lord in South Africa, has been rescued! (see article)

We thank the countless believers who were in fervent prayer during this trying time. The Lord truly answered. We also deeply appreciate the courageous efforts of the authorities and others who worked tirelessly to secure Josh’s rescue. Our hearts are filled with praise to God, who has once again shown His power to protect and deliver His servants!

If you’re reading this and wondering why Josh would be a missionary and risk his life for the gospel, it’s because he knows what Jesus has done for him, and what Jesus offers the whole world. Sin separates us all from God, but Jesus Christ, God’s Son, came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of the whole world, and rose again. Because of His sacrifice, all who trust in Him can be saved (Romans 6:23; 10:13).

Josh’s rescue is a powerful reminder of the spiritual rescue that every soul needs. Billions around the world are still held captive by sin and spiritual darkness. There are still tribes, tongues, and nations who have never heard the name of Jesus even once. Christians are responsible for obeying Christ’s final command, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).

Will you let Josh’s story challenge you? He risked everything for the cause of Christ. Will you pray for the Lord to send more laborers into His harvest? Will you go?
