why do you think God doesn't care?
The Bible teaches us (yes-I'm reaching for my pesky Bible again) that from the beginning God has had or has strived for a personal relationship with men. It started with Adam and Eve. Do you know why the Jews are called God's chosen people? Yes, it's because He loved Abraham and wanted to bless him. But there's another reason. The Jews were God's chosen - to be His light to the world. They were chosen to be the example of who God is and what a great God he is. When God wants things done, He does it through us. Through people. We serve God by serving people. That's been the example all through the Bible. Moses served God by serving people - he led the Hebrews out of slavery and gave examples of God's greatness to the world in the process. Noah served God by serving people - yes this is absolutely true. I'll write a post on it. Esther served God by serving people. We can go on and an. God shows his care for mankind through the service of His followers. Just because you have not personally seen missionaries as such "go out and preach the word" doesn't mean God is not caring for all men. Since you are not God, you haven't been witness to all that has happened to all mankind all through history, and you have not been privy to the inner workings of all mens' hearts. And don't think the world didn't know about the Jews all through time. For example, the queen of Ethiopia (Sheba) traveled hundreds of miles just to meet King Soloman. You could say the Jews were the first missionaries, by being the light of God to the world. They haven't always done a bang-up job of that - who has? But that's their office, as it is ours (me and my fellow Christ-followers all over the world) to be the light of Jesus.
