What are the priorities of the man who wants to serve God? Where should he "aim" his energy? We can best answer these questions if we first answer another question, "What do people need?" To truly serve God is to meet the needs of people. If we can determine what people need, then we will know what kind of Christian worker people need and, hence, what our priorities should be. So, what do people need? We live in a broken generation. Billy Graham has said that people attend his crusades for one or more of four unmet needs: loneliness, emptiness, guilt, and a fear of death. People are hurting, and they need a message from God, a word, a touch from the living Lord. People need healing, encouragement, hope, salvation, and truth. They need someone who has been in contact with God. What do people need? People need God, because apart from God life has no meaning.
