<p>You see, the Church—the spiritual community of Christ-followers in a particular place—is the most compelling expression of Jesus a village will ever witness. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rljA0V9CdOw">I further explain this in the video below.</a></p>
<p>That is why the Apostle Paul said that through the church, “God has chosen to make known among the lost the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you [that is, Christ in the church], the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27) Yes, the church planted in a village is its only hope.</p>
<p>So, we invite you to join us in the mission of planting churches within walking distance of every unreached village on Planet Earth. Let’s join Jesus, who proclaimed, “I will build my church, and not even the gates of hell can keep it out.” (Matthew 16:18) Let&#8217;s plant the church.</p>

<p>It costs $3600 to engage, equip and empower an indigenous missionary to plant a reproducing church in an unreached village. See how you can get involved at <a href="http://petrosnetwork.org/">petrosnetwork.org</a>.</p>
