Monday is for Missions: the Unreached & Unengaged

In our world today there are some 12,000 distinct people groups.  A people group is collection of people with similiarities such as language, culture, geography, etc through which the Gospel of Christ can spread easily.

6500 of these groups are "unreached" which means <2% of their members are evangelical believers in Jesus Christ. This effectively means that there is not an indigenous community of evangelical Christians with adequate numbers and resources to spread the Gospel within that particular people group.  The total population of these unreached people groups represent 1.6 billion people or 25% of the world!! Many of these groups are also "unengaged", meaning there is no church or organization actively working inside that people group to spread the Gospel!

To put it bluntly, almost every one of these people live and die without ever hearing the Gospel and there is currently no active work trying to change their situation!!

• Pray for these people groups.


• Pray for a new wave of missionary activity to come.


• Pray for an open and burdened heart as our church begins to wrestle with our responsibility regarding the unreached and unengaged.
