Adopt Unreached Language Group
Faith Church currently supports 21 ministry partners around the world. And 14 of those 21 came from the seats of Faith Church!
Because we value the importance of first building community with people in order to point them to Jesus, we prioritize investing in our ministry partners as they are the ones building relationships daily in each of the areas you see below.
In addition to supporting these 21 ministry partners, we have a God-sized goal of adopting an unreached language group of our own. Why?
There are 7.5 billion people in the world. 42% of them have no opportunities to hear the hope of the gospel.
Read that again. It doesn’t say that 42% of the people in the world are not Christians — that number is actually closer to 70%. But almost half of the people on this planet are living in places where they will most likely never even know what it means to follow Jesus.
That means…
- They have no access to the Bible in their own language.
- They don't know any Christians and likely will never meet any Christians.
- They don't have any churches in their community.
- There are no Christians (or not enough Christians) from their unique cultural group who are able to share the love and the message of Christ with them.
So what does it look like to “adopt” an unreached language group? We are still in the very early stages, but here is what will happen over the next few years.
- We will ask God to show us which language group He is leading Faith Church to Adopt.
- In early 2023, God placed a country in Southeast Asia on our hearts.
- We will send a Faith Church team of long-term workers to live among the language group and begin sharing the love and message of Christ.
- In Spring of 2023, we sent our first ULG team member to SE Asia.
- We will determine the best strategy to reach this language group.
- We will support the long-term work by sending short-term teams, praying, and sending additional resources.
- We will eventually work toward planting a church in this language group - a church that is sustainable to thrive on its own.
