The Need is Great
2 Corinthians 5:20, 21
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making as appeal through us, we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.
There is no time

Romans 10:14-15
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things! - NASB
