There are thousands of unreached people groups that have almost no chance of hearing about Jesus from someone in their community. The largest of these UPGs have populations in the millions. How are there groups of people this large that have not heard the gospel when it is so easily accessible in the U.S.? Multiple factors could contribute to this problem, including lack of resources going toward UPGs and a lack of knowledge of the need to reach them.

The Great Commission is not a suggestion; it’s a command. At East-West, we continue to dedicate everything to that truth. Every day, we are pressing into dark and distant places to bring the light of the gospel to those who have never heard it. God is on the move, and we refuse to stay still.

With tens of thousands of unreached people dying every day, the sobering reality is that scores of people live their entire lives never knowing the truth of the gospel. That leads to an uncomfortable question: What happens to those who haven’t heard the gospel?
