With so many more people in the world today and now more Asian people becoming christians and finally arabs being given given a choice to convert to christianity or die how can we increase the number of saints to help out? My only suggestion is for all christians who are saved to lay down their mortal lives to be born as saints to do gods work.

Arabs given a choice to convert to Christianity or die!!!!
You have it backward. it is the other way around. The number of Christians in the middle east are decreasing at alarming rate, and it is not for voluntarily conversion.
Been there, and know it well. Get your facts straight.
Did you know a Muslim can preach anywhere to anyone and there will be no question asked! yet, if a Christians dared to or even been accused of preaching! they are punished, and some even put to death depending on what country they were!
I don't know what you mean by God's work. I know people become, or in another word canonized by man as Saint after a long life of service to others.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying that more Christians should die in the hope that they get canonized and can help (I have no idea how) when they are a dead saint?
Unfortunately death is a bit permanent and regardless of your beliefs, I think it would be fair to assume that the living are in a better position to help others than the dead.

Thats about the only way, although this internet is a good way to spread the gospel dont ya think, thousands of people log on every day! And if push comes to shove I will lay down my life for Christ, he died for me why shouldn't I do the same? I can't wait till I can stand before him and thank him for all he did for me! God Bless

Well you could always convince the Church to do like it use to do, steal a pagan God or Goddess and claim that they are actually a saint. Just look at St. Bridget... or should I say the Celtic Goddess Bride.

You could approach the AFL in Victoria Australia and ask them if you could get Saint Kilda Football Club to help out??

It's not our responsibility to get anyone to do God's work. Our responsibility is to pray that God send laborers for the harvest, He will do so by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

We can do nothing. Only what GOD wills. I am up to my eye balls in ministry and would have it no other way. It is a cool thing to do but it is GOD who gives the increase. Have some faith.
May the Lord richly bless you.

Pray that people will respond when God calls them to love and serve their fellow man. It would also help if the media were to give more attention to people who follow God's call to love and serve others. When you see someone who is serving others, call attention to it.

I agree. It is hard.
Incidentally, everyone saved by the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a saint, not just a few people that the Church of Rome says.
