Ten years ago, there were 3,000 unengaged, unreached people groups around the world–peoples who had never had a witness to share the gospel with them. Today, that number is less than 500 unreached, unengaged people groups. God is moving and His church is growing!<\/p>\n

David will share stories of places where missions leaders have seen the last remaining unreached people groups in a region reached for the gospel \u2013 even amidst difficult times for the church. He says 90% of the recently unreached are being served by local or near-culture Christians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the amazing thing about persecution,\u201d David says. \u201cIt allows us to demonstrate the gospel in a way that nothing else could.\u201d<\/p>\n

Listen for David to share the one question people ask when they hear the gospel for the first time.<\/p>\n
