A large and growing gap is being felt by church and mission agencies around the
world as the need for workers increases. The most urgent demand is for long-term
workers according to Operation Mobilization. OM says the problem is there is not
enough prayer and vision to meet the needs and opportunities available. The group also
blames apathy, legalism and Biblical compromise plaguing churches for the continuing
shortage. OM asks believers to become active in missions work and consider where
God may lead in the year 2000.
