Countries and People Groups

"When William Carey began the modern missionary movement more than two centuries ago, he spoke to believers with a holy confidence: "God's cause will triumph." It already has, but we still have a responsibility to finish the job...to make a difference in the rest of the world. 6000 people groups remain unreached. That's approximately 1/2 of the world's population. We must allow God to put a passion in our hearts like Paul who said, "Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel not where Christ was named..."(Romans 15:20)"
