Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.

Proverbs chapter 25 like cold water to a thirsty soul so is good news from a far country. What a great verse, especially as we think about

how each day on this podcast we pray for an unreached people group, an ethnic group in the world

that has little to no access to the gospel. In other words they've not heard the good news of Jesus

and who he is and how much he loves them and how he is made a way for them to be restored to relationship with God for eternal life.

They've never even heard it.

It's not that somebody's told them that news and they've rejected it. It's they've never even been told. So as we think

about these unreached people groups in the world, thousands of them, over 7,000 of them today classified as unreached.

Listen to this proverb.

V. 25 of chapter 25, like cold water to a thirsty soul.

So is good news from a far country.

This is what we're praying for.

Every time we pray for unreached people, we're praying for. Every time we pray for unreached people we're praying that good

news would spread from a far country like cold water to thirsty souls.

And just imagine, just imagine being in a place where you've never heard

the good news of who God is and how much God loves you and how he has

sent his son to die on a cross for your sins and risen from the dead, conquered death so that you can

have eternal life and eternal hope. Enjoy eternal love in relationship with God.

Imagine never having heard that, and then you hear it.
