In our world today, more than 4 in 10 people still lack access to the Gospel. This means that billions of people have never met a Christ follower, heard the Gospel, read the Bible, or worshiped with a church. They don’t know what it means or what it looks like to have a hope-filled life with Jesus. 

Have you ever wondered why? In some places, politics forbid evangelism; or the influence of other majority religions creates an environment of shame or persecution. Identity might be entirely woven into a culture centered around beliefs which contradict Christianity.

Because of these tensions and realities, it takes a lot of time for our missionaries to build relationships and share the Gospel. Reaching the point where people are ready to accept the Gospel takes even longer! It doesn’t happen overnight, and sometimes — it doesn’t happen for decades.

Which is why we must remain faithfully committed to our role in God’s mission! If we truly want to reach the unreached with the good news of Jesus Christ, we must actively play our role in the Great Commission.

As we look ahead, Global Partners has a vision to open new mission fields in some of the most unreached areas around the world. Because everyone deserves to hear the Good News about Jesus Christ!

Reflecting on the journey of a Global Partners missionary who helped open a new field in East Asia through medical practice 26 years ago, we see how God has powerfully transformed lives, and we believe that He’ll do it again. Already, this missionary has started exploring other locations in Asia where new work could take root.

“… He showed up – He would do things that were impossible, people came to know the Lord and churches were planted and the church wants to do missions … I got to know God in ways I never would have known Him if I just stayed in America as a doctor. That’s the kind of opportunity we want for these new countries, too.”

We feel the excitement of seeing God do the impossible and want to share that with those who do not yet know Him.

You can make an impact. Will you help us reach the 4 in 10 by setting up a monthly recurring gift? Your monthly gift of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or beyond will help make it possible for our missionaries to do this important work in unreached places.
