Transformation Update: For the Sake of the Not-Yet Church
Scripture tells us that members of every people group on earth will worship Jesus around His throne. But some of them haven’t yet responded to the gospel. They are the not-yet Church.
All of us who belong to Christ’s Body were once part of the not-yet Church. But many members of the not-yet Church live in communities where the good news of Christ is still unknown.
God sovereignly uses the contributions of many believers to bring least-reached people into His family! This Transformation Update is a celebration of the many ways the Lord works through His people to draw the not-yet Church into the Body of Christ.
