[Thor]

Here's the rest of it, its a friend on Facebook and her very religious friends, she describes herself as spiritual but not religious, her friends however VERY religious.

I have not been on a missions trip outside the United States. The Domestic Missions work I have done has been AMAZING and I would love to go and experience life through missions outside the US. Thor I LOVE your question. Questions like this are so hard though because we are not God and our thoughts aren't like His. Humans are amazing for sure but we are limited in our humanness compared to God. The fact he created different snow flakes, atoms, DNA, the line where the color of your lip changes to be skin color instead of lip color all just leaves me in awe. In fact I know more often than not I just take for granted all the amazing things He does.

Anyway, in my crazy mind I see your question as this . . . . how can someone know what they don't know if someone else hasn't told them what they should know? The link below talks about several aspects of this. What I want to point out is Psalm 19:1 "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship." New Living Translation God's very creation tells people He exists and where better than a remote place like an island or the untamed wilderness to actually be able to see His handy work.

The other verse is Luke 19:38-40 (Jesus is coming into Jerusalem the week before His death) "Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!" But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, "Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!" He replied, "If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!" The Pharisees felt the followers were blaspheming the name of God by comparing Jesus to Him. And Christ response was if the people don't say it then the stones will.

I asked my minister in Miles City, MT this question once and he said he has been told by missionary friends there was a time they got to a place no one had been to and when they began to share Christ with the native people the Tribal Leader had previously had a vision sharing that exact story of Christ. I believe God can, and will, make Himself known all over the world and He will use us to help with that if needed. If for some reason someone doesn't hear about Him then it is His responsibility to decide if they go to heaven or hell.

Absolutely Tia Carr. One of my favorite verses of the Bible is in Isaiah 55:12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Can you just imagine the trees clapping their hands and the hills singing the glory of God! One of my favorite sayings is that "God doesn't NEED us to do HIS work." But He still called us to do it--to share the plan of salvation!
