Words of Hope in the Northeast

While it’s not news that most of America is moving away from Christ, that process is happening faster & has been happening longer in some regions more than others.

The most advanced stages of the cancer of atheistic & agnostic secular humanism in the United States fester deepest in the Northeast. Just last year, Barna identified the Northeastern-most states as the ones most densely saturated by this spiritual disease. 

It still seems strange to many Americans that we are in need of supported, Gospel-centered missionaries doing the work of church revitalization within our own borders. Hasn’t Jesus commanded us to go the lost in every generation wherever they live? Yes!

God’s Word leaves no room for doubt that we are to reach the nations, all people, in all times until He returns with the message of the cross—certainly to those who are unreached & unengaged, but also to others—to those we’ve come to speak about as being “formerly reached.”

Much like Europe was once “reached,” home to giants of the Reformation like Martin Luther & John Knox, & as recently as 40-130 years ago, the likes of Charles Spurgeon, J.C. Ryle, A.W. Pink, & Martyn Lloyd-Jones—whose collective usefulness to God in reaching Europe cannot be overstated—but the times have changed in Europe. Followers of Jesus these days are rare gems in that land.

Now sending missionaries to Spurgeon’s England or Luther’s Germany is a no-brainer, & the trends seen in Europe’s faith-life are present here at home & deeply embedded in the Northeastern USA.

Our sending partners, Village Missions (VillageMissions.org), have assigned us to New England, & based us in Middleton, New Hampshire at the town’s only church, Middleton Gospel Chapel.

We see so many Gospel opportunities & divine appointments in this circle of influence here. Will you consider prayerfully & financially supporting this Gospel ministry to those living in this formerly reached area?
