Our Why
At Activate Global, 100% of our mission work, funding and focus are directly fueling taking the Gospel to unreached peoples.
The Great Commission:
Jesus’ command to reach all peoples!
Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus gave his final command, “Go make disciples of all nations…” The word “nations” in Greek (the original langauge of the New Testament) means “ethnic people groups!” Jesus’ heart and mission was to see people from all people groups be transformed by the truth and love of the gospel!
Though we celebrate the generations of disciple makers who have gone before us and the incredible gospel progress in the world, there are still entire people groups who have little to no access to the good news!
Unreached People Groups with little to NO gospel access.
People Groups with NO portion of scripture in their language.
People Groups considered unreached… in India alone.
Pray for the 50 most populous UNREACHED people groups…
The Great Imbalance:
Billions unreached, ALL under-resourced?
Considering the incredible gospel need of those who live within Unreached People Groups and Jesus’ heart to take the Good News of His Kingdom to all nations, you would think that nearly all Christians, churches and global missions work would be focused on this,
RIGHT…?
Right…?
WRONG…
And we wish we could sit with you over a cup of coffee to share the news, but the reality is that nearly all Christians, christian households and churches spend the majority of their resources on themselves. Only a small portion of giving is committed to global missions causes. And, of the giving committed to global missions, 99% of those funds are going to already reached areas (places that already have Bibles, believers and churches.)
So, what about the missionaries? Recent research also reveals that 97% of cross cultural missionaries are sent to places who already have sufficient gospel access, while only 3% of global missionaries are strategically sent to unreached places.
Less than 1%
of MISSIONS giving
&
Less than 3%
of MISSIONARIES
are dedicated to serving Unreached People Groups
This is WHY we give 100% to the 1%
We know all of this can be quite overwhelming, maybe you’re thinking, “where do I even start?” Well, we believe that with you, change is possible! In the past few years, more and more churches, families and ministries are partnering to pray, tell others and financially support taking the gospel to Unreached People Groups! Some are even joining forces with their mission partners that are now considered “reached” and are working together to “send” more workers to the unreached. (Think Sub-Saharan teams going to underserved parts of North Africa – wow!)
God’s kingdom is beautiful and it is going to take all of us. We want to invite you to be a part of rectifying the Great Imbalance in our generation!
