Why Pray for Unreached People Groups?
Standing in the gap for those who haven’t yet heard
Standing in the gap for those who haven’t yet heard
Jesus modeled prayer as the foundation of his ministry — withdrawing alone to seek the Father, returning to him consistently throughout his earthly life. His strategy for the harvest was no different.
Not a suggestion — a mission. The harvest is real. Among the world’s unreached people groups there are men and women whose hearts are already open, already longing for a hope they haven’t yet had the chance to hear.
God himself looks for people willing to do something about that.
This is what intercession is — standing in the gap on behalf of those who can’t yet pray to a God they don’t know. We pray for them — that the Lord of the harvest would send workers, that his word would reach them, that the hope they’re longing for would have a name.
Here’s how to make that prayer a regular part of your life.
See the world’s unreached people groups on an interactive map and pray for them by name. Every time someone prays, their light shines on the map — a visible reminder that believers are standing in the gap together.
