I like the fact that a large group of people are gathering to discuss how to reach 2 billion lost souls. However, I am not so sure a group as diverse as those in attendance agree on what the Gospel is. It is reported that a “commitment to holiness, integrity and purity” was needed as a starting point. I agree this is important, but what about the Gospel, what about the Word of God and the need for it to be preached in all the world. Why was is not reported that a return to the sufficiency of scripture and a biblical Gospel is paramount to any surge to win souls? Most likely because those issues where not articulated.

It’s not insignificant that men like Jack Hayford, Luis Palua, and many YWAM leaders have championed the ecumenical agenda in many ways. Cooperation with Rome is not the answer, they need Jesus too.

YWAM leaders have even come up with the idea of “Messianic Muslims” where this new “convert” is informed that they can continue regular mosque attendance, bowing in prayer to Allah, and Quranic reading and still be considered born again. Is this the gospel that will truly reach 2 billion souls for Jesus?

And the “Prayer Movements”, we should be very watchful of them. Many involved in these prayer movements embrace the “mystical” ideas of Roman Catholic mystics.

The point that I want to bring home is this, it’s not really that complicated. We need to return to the models provided in scripture for reaching the lost. All these models are easy to identify and they all involve preaching the Word of God. After all, we are to preach the Gospel, God does the saving work and he should receive the glory for it.

We need to raise up men of God who will preach the Gospel to the nations.

Huckabee seems to be the only real chose for any truly conservative, bible believing Christian.

Brendle says "which means while we need an effective CEO". That kind of statement is sad to me. New Life needs a Shepherd, not a CEO.
