Joshua Project and WorldVenture

Prayer For The Unreached

WorldVenture and Joshua Project 

Billions don’t know Jesus and we are not okay with that. However, it’s not enough to say this on our social media. James 1:22 says, “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” 

Jesus said, “… make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19-20)”

Jesus first loved us. This helps us love people we have never met. Justin Long, in an interview with us, said that heart change is the answer to challenging the church to world missions. But how do we inspire the church to long-term missions, especially to unreached peoples? What does it mean for a people to be unreached?

WorldVenture and Joshua Project are partnering together in prayer for unreached people groups. In this series, you will learn what an unreached people group is and know them by face. You will learn how to pray for them. Along the way, Joshua Project and WorldVenture will provide resources in follow-up blog posts.
