3. There is a gap between God and us and the gap is sin.3

4. Ez 22:30-31, I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD." 4

8. Acts 26:18, I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me. 8

9. 2. There is a gap between the people groups.

The gap exists geographically, culturally and theologically.

15. The 10/40 window has the three largest religious blocks with very few Christian witnesses: 865 million Muslims, 550 million Hindus, 275 million Buddhists, 140 million tribal people (2550 tribal groups) and 17 millions Jews. 15

18. Ps 67:1, May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. 18

20. Mt 24:14, And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.

Do you agree there is a gap between God’s promise and our responses? 21

22. Num 16:46-49, Then Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has started."

23. 47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly
47 So Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly. The plague had already started among the people, but Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. 48 He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. 49 But 14,700 people died from the plague.

24. Do you want God to save as many as possible before He brings his wrath down?
Will you stand in the gap and pray for the church, the community outreach and world evangelization?
