There are approximately 17,311 people groups in the world today. Of these, approximately 7,276 are identified as having little or no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Further, 3,175 people groups are considered unengaged – which means no one is attempting to reach them with the gospel of Jesus Christ. To sum it up, there are approximately 3.4 billion people who have never heard of the hope of the gospel and about 5.7 million whom no one is attempting to reach. We send missionaries to our national and international mission partners to share the Gospel, plant churches, and make disciples.
Unreached People Groups
South Asia
In South Asia, we engage a people group with very little Christian witness that hold to a non-Christian belief system. Our focus is to train and disciple national Christian leaders, both men & women, in areas of evangelism, discipleship, and church planting so that the South Asia churches can multiply. Individuals with a heart for unreached people groups, that are willing to be educated in major South Asian faiths, and enjoy teaching are needed in this partnership.
Northern Africa
We help serve the people of North Africa through various humanitarian projects. The people of North Africa hold to non-Christian belief systems. People that have training in athletics, art, medicine, or videography, and enjoy traveling to difficult places are perfect for this partnership.
Japan
In Japan, we seek to evangelize, disciple and plant churches amongst a people group that holds to a modern-day form of emperor worship. People that are strong in relational skills, enjoy meeting new people, and are opened to learning how to share Jesus through everyday conversations are perfect for this partnership.
Germany
We reach out to Persian refugees coming to Germany from the Middle East through humanitarian efforts. In 2015, large numbers of refugees fleeing war and terrorism in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq arrived on Europe’s shores. In 2022, Federal Statistical Office of Germany estimates that 304,000 people of Iranian background live in Germany.

Church Planting
Spain
We assist churches in Spain in outreach, evangelism, and discipleship events. Over 77% of Spaniards identify themselves as Christian, but less than 2% are considered evangelical believers. People who are outgoing and willing to learn how to share Jesus through everyday conversations are perfect for this partnership. Being able to speak Spanish is also a huge positive, but not necessary.
Norway
In Norway, we reach a post-Christian culture with the Gospel through casual conversation – looking for opportunities to share truth from God’s Word. Just under 87% of Norwegians identify as Christian, but less than 8% are considered evangelical believers.
