(USA)–Next, more missionaries are needed in the United States to help reach the lost with the Gospel. American Missionary Fellowship’s Lee Iseley says they’re establishing Bible studies, vacation Bible schools, and school base programs to help young people turn to Christ at a young age. Iseley says targeting young people is important. “As many as 90-percent of our people that come to know the Lord do so before they are 25 years of age. So, the priority for us is that we reach our children and youth during their growing up years with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Iseley believes the United States needs more programs to help teach Biblical values. That’s why AMF is moving forward with a new program. “We hope, this next year, to establish Bible studies in overlooked and under-reached communities. So, what we’re trying to do is recruit people who will take this as a missions assignment, and finding these types of people are difficult these days.”
