And Jesus calls you to reach them\u2014and to resource others to join the effort.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that 97 percent of the world has heard of Coca-Cola, 72 percent of the world has seen a can of Coca-Cola, and 51 percent has tasted Coca-Cola. Yet Coke has only been around since 1904. I think if God had given the task of world evangelization to the Coke company, we\u2019d be done by now!<\/p>\n<p>We have more resources than we think we have. How much money per year do you spend on some of these common items: ice cream, coffee, soft drinks, or chocolate? The average person consumes 12 lbs. of chocolate per year. Just think what resources we could mobilize to reach the world if we simply gave up chocolate!<\/p>\n<p>And what difference could we make if we joined with others to bring salvation to the world? The Association of Church Missions Commissions once defined a mobilizing church as one in which . . .<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 percent of the church\u2019s members are regularly and systematically praying for missions.<\/li>\n<li>10 percent of the members are regularly and systematically sharing their faith.<\/li>\n<li>10 percent of the church\u2019s budget is spent on cross-cultural outreach.<\/li>\n<li>1 percent of the church\u2019s members are entering cross-cultural service.<\/li>\n<li>The church is working to involve one neighbor church in missions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>God is faithful to bless our efforts as we respond to His call. What do you have that you can offer to the Lord\u2019s service? What portion of your time, talent, and treasure can you dedicate to reaching those whom Jesus loves? While we may look at the task and seem woefully inadequate, God\u2019s vision is greater. He sees that we have what we need to Give to Live, by bringing salvation to the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2678 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"stantoler-1\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1-200x275.jpg 200w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/discipleship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/StanToler-1.jpg 1527w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a>Dr. Stan Toler has served as a general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene as well as a pastor for over 40 years in Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, and Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>Stan Toler has written over 100 books, including his best-sellers, <em>God Has Never Failed Me, But He\u2019s Sure Scared Me to Death a Few Times; The Buzzards Are Circling, But God\u2019s Not Finished With Me Yet; God\u2019s Never Late, He\u2019s Seldom Early, He\u2019s Always Right on Time<\/em>; <em>The Secret Blend; The Relational Leader; Practical Guide to Pastoral Ministry;<\/em> <em>The Inspirational Speaker\u2019s Resource,<\/em> <em>ReThink Your Life<\/em>, his popular <em>Minute Motivator<\/em> series, <em>If Only I Could Relate To The People I\u2019m Related To and his newest book, Outstanding Leadership. <\/em>His books have sold over 3 million copies.<\/p>\n<p>Toler for many years served as Vice-President and taught seminars for John C.
