That means Christians have the incredible privilege of representing Christ to all the nations of the world. Sharing out of his long career blessing the nations for Christ, Jeff — (surname withheld for security reasons) unpacks what this calling to be Christ's ambassadors means for us today.

1. An Unreached People Group Meets Jesus
There are over 800 people groups in Papua New Guinea. One of them is the Kaje people, which until recently was an unreached people group with no known believers. But roughly a decade ago, Thrive alums Jon & Jen Myers sold their earthly possessions and moved to the jungles of Papua New Guinea to live among the Kaje people. By the grace of God they had the privilege of sharing the gospel with the Kaje, who have now come to faith in Christ. To kick off Thrive’s January series on missions, Jon Myers shares the Kaje story.
