The Unreached, who are these 2.4 billion?
An “Unreached People Group” is a ethno-linguistic group where no evangelical gospel witness exists. Spiritual oppression and darkness cover them. Currently 2.4 billion individuals are classified as unreached. Only 2 out of every 100 missionaries are going to these 2.4 billion individuals. When Jesus commands, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...” Jesus uses the Greek word ethne to explain what a nation is. Ethne is not merely a geographical/political nation, but each individual ethnicity within every country.
All Will Give An Account, what does the Bible say?
A quick look at Revelation 5 and 7 shows Jesus died for individuals among every tribe, tongue and nation so they could be reconciled to God and each other. One day, as one united body, peoples from every ethne will worship Jesus Christ in His throne room, free from the oppression of sin and death! The unreached have reason to sing to Jesus; and we desire to be a part of telling them why. What a pure JOY and delight!
Go Therefore, where will we serve among them?
During training we will be serving the unreached people groups in Papua New Guinea and Southern Mexico. Prayers are needed for the teams going to these areas as reaching these people requires great sacrifice and endurance through suffering. Not only are the areas these groups reside hard to get to, many are difficult to physically live in due to lack of resources and harsh climate. After our two years of training we don’t know where we will end up but we are praying for the Lord’s guidance. Please keep the unreached in your prayers as the task of reaching them can only be accomplished through Him who strengthens us.
