Today I am thankful for Jesus Christ. I am hesitant to even say this, but I know this can sound kind of cheesy. However, I don’t feel like it is at all. I am so thankful for Him. I am grateful that God took the LOWEST form as a human being and lived and served among us. He knows every feeling and emotion we are going through because He also lived it. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”- Hebrews 4:15 Jesus was a real person. Historians can prove it. He was here walking and talking and healing, and just hanging out. Here is an awesome blog about how the Bible proves Jesus was just like us (except without sin)- human. http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/jesus-is-fully-human
So what could my organization be that supports Jesus? Well I am so thankful that I am an American citizen and have the ability to read the Bible in multiple translations and freely. Some of our fellow humans are not so lucky. They have government restrictions. OR they honestly do not have a single person that knows Jesus to tell them about the Good News!
Have you ever heard of the 10:40 window? Well, “The 10/40 Window is an area of the world that contains the largest population of non-Christians in the world. The area extends from 10 degrees to 40 degrees North of the equator, and stretches from North Africa across to China.”- http://1040window.org/what_is.htm

Again, what is the organization for supporting Jesus? It is the Joshua Project.
“Joshua Project gathers, integrates, and shares people group information to encourage pioneer church-planting movements among every ethnic group and to facilitate effective coordination of mission agency efforts.”- http://www.joshuaproject.net/joshua-project.php

Why is this important??
“Joshua Project is a research initiative seeking to highlight the ethnic people groups of the world with the fewest followers of Christ. Accurate, regularly updated ethnic people group information is critical for understanding and completing the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." Jesus directly links His return to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. While no one knows the date or time of His return, we do know that this gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all the nations first. Revelation 5:9 and 7:9-10 show that there will be some from every tribe, tongue, nation and people before the Throne.”- http://www.joshuaproject.net/joshua-project.php
