Thousands of Foreign Students among us that need to know Christ.<br \/>\n3. Hundreds of new churches and missions need Pastors and Leaders.<br \/>\n4. 45 Missionaries could be added to Missions.<br \/>\n5. 18 million foreign-speaking people live in the USA. The ends of the Earth have come to us.<br \/>\n85 new missionaries are needed to reach these people alone.<br \/>\n6. More than half the American Indians are still not evangelized.<br \/>\n7.
