who believe Jesus wants to come back and rule the world, but he can't or won't do it until every last person alive on earth has heard the gospel. Some of these missionaries who go to the ends of the earth to find isolated groups - and the Christians who fund such expeditions - are doing it in order to facilitate Jesus's return and the establishment of his worldwide kingdom. Greene Baptist Church may very well be among these. This is from their Statement of Faith:

2. About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
