About Us
Our What
The red lights on this map represent unreached people groups on earth, while the green lights represent reached people groups. Our goal is to turn every red light green!
Our Why
Scripture makes it clear that God’s plan is for every ethnos (people group) to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and the end will not come until this is accomplished (Matt 24:14). Therefore, we labor to hasten the day of God (2 Peter 3:12).
Our How
“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” -1 Corinthians 16:9
There are nearly 1.5 billion people active on social media that live among the most unreached areas on earth. Through Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger Ads, we share Gospel content directly with these people in their own language. Then we follow up with those who are spiritually seeking and truly hungry to learn more.
The Challenges
Our Mission Statement
