Podcasts about unreached

In this powerful message from Elevate City Church's Half-Hearted series, Peachtree Corners Campus Pastor Thomas Cheeseman challenges believers to put to death missional apathy and live wholeheartedly for Jesus. Preached on International Day for the Unreached and Pentecost Sunday, this sermon explores Mark 5 and the story of the demon-possessed man who was radically transformed by Jesus and sent to reach his city with the Gospel. Thomas shares a passionate call to repentance, consecration, evangelism, and revival, reminding us that there are still 3.4 billion unreached people around the world who have never heard the name of Jesus. If you've been feeling spiritually complacent, distant from God, or stuck going through the motions, this message will reignite your passion for the Great Commission, the secret place, and sharing your testimony. Discover how your story can be a weapon against darkness and why God is calling everyday believers to boldly make Jesus known in their neighborhoods, cities, and the nations.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go.

Brother Matthew was a worldly teenager when his mother decided she and her son needed to go to church. By the end of that first service, both of them had committed their lives to following Christ. As Matthew grew in faith, he was convicted and inspired by the Acts accounts of Paul's missionary travels. Studying Paul's efforts to take the gospel to the Gentiles, Matthew began to ponder who the Gentiles were in his generation, living far from the truth of Christ? As he began to ask that question in prayer, God laid on his heart the nation of Afghanistan. Matthew began taking steps towards service in that war-torn country, and repeatedly God confirmed His calling. Months later, Matthew was in Uzbekistan, serving with a church-planting effort and getting on-the-ground education in Central Asia ministry and culture. Listen as Matthew tells the stories of the people he met who experienced supernatural visions and encounters with Jesus. He'll also talk about the risks of sharing the gospel among Muslims, and the miraculous story of how God helped him get approval for an Afghan visa from the Taliban consulate! Matthew will recount what it looked like when he arrived in Kabul – just a few years after Soviet tanks withdrew – and how the Lord led him to serve in a village as God faithfully guided, one step at a time. Pray this week for our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and throughout Central Asia.

About three billion people — a third of everyone alive today — still don't have access to the gospel. Dr. Marvin Newell unpacks five Great Commission passages and how we can take the gospel to those who still haven't heard the good news. Listen in to learn about the 10/40 Window, the International Day for the Unreached, and more! A Third of Us: What It Takes to Reach the Unreached "There are about 9.2 billion people in the world today, and of those, about a third of them have yet to have access to the gospel." "A third of humanity has yet to have a clear presentation of the gospel." Matthew 28:18-20 "The core of what we're to do is to make disciples of the nations." "The sending role is as important as the going role." Mark 16:15 "People who have these three 'nos' - no church, no Bible, and no [Christian] individual around them - are the ones that we're focusing on when it comes to the unreached." "90% of the unreached people groups in the world are found within that [10/40] window of darkness, of no gospel access." Luke 24:47 "We do have a specific message that the world needs." John 20:21 "It takes human beings to share the gospel in a way that other human beings will truly understand it." Acts 1:8 "We're to be proclaiming the gospel both here and near and over there all at the same time." "The three big movements that we're living in in our day and age are globalization, international migration, and urbanization." "We shouldn't see this task that we have as impossible. We need to know that God is preparing hearts ahead of us as we take the gospel to these people groups." "We are commanded to take the gospel [...] to all the world to every creature, so we see that as our task and we don't lose heart." "It's up for us to keep passing the baton on and keep the movement going that Jesus gave two thousand years ago to the twelve apostles." Learn about the International Day for the Unreached here!

The Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 reveals God's specific mission for every believer's life, yet only 17% of Christians know what it is. Jesus gave His disciples four key elements: His complete authority over all things, the call to reach all nations and people groups, the responsibility to teach all truth including baptism and Scripture, and the promise that He is always with us through the Holy Spirit. God has placed each of us in a specific sphere of influence - our workplace, neighborhood, or community - where we can impact others through prayer, care, and sharing our faith. The Great Commission isn't just for pastors or missionaries; it's God's game plan for every believer to make disciples using their unique gifts and circumstances.

Brother Matthew was a worldly teenager when his mother decided she and her son needed to go to church. By the end of that first service, both of them had committed their lives to following Christ. As Matthew grew in faith, he was convicted and inspired by the Acts accounts of Paul's missionary travels. Studying Paul's efforts to take the gospel to the gentiles, Matthew began to ponder who were the gentiles in his generation, living far from the truth of Christ? As he began to ask that question in prayer, God laid on his heart the nation of Afghanistan. Matthew began taking steps towards service in that war-torn country, and repeatedly God confirmed His calling. Months later, Matthew was in Uzbekistan, serving with a church-planting effort and getting on-the-ground education in Central Asia ministry and culture. Listen as Matthew tells the stories of the people he met who experienced supernatural visions and encounters with Jesus. He'll also talk about the risks of sharing the gospel among Muslims, and the miraculous story of how God helped him get approval for an Afghan visa from the Taliban consulate! Matthew will recount what it looked like when he arrived in Kabul—just a few years after Soviet tanks withdrew—and how the Lord led him to serve in a village as God faithfully guided, one step at a time. Pray this week for our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and throughout Central Asia.
