Americans likely spend 24 TIMES MORE on pet Halloween costumes than on evangelizing unreached cultures.

Here are the details.

Over 3.5 billion souls have scarcely (if ever) heard Jesus’s name.

Every day, they search to no avail for the hope, clarity, purpose, and cleansing only Jesus can give.

Tragically, they live in cultures with minimal access to the good news—so most have rarely (if ever) met a Christian, passed a church, or even seen a Bible. Many have never even heard Jesus’s name.

Seems like an urgent mission for the church, right?

Unfortunately, we’ve hardly begun to turn the tide. The statistics bear this out with disturbing clarity.

🐶 According to the National Retail Federation, Americans likely spent $480 million on Halloween pet costumes in 2019.

🌏 Meanwhile, American Christians might donate only about $20 million annually to reach the unreached (rough estimate by missiologist Justin Long). That’s a mere 1% of missions giving and about .1% of total offerings.

📈 That means Americans might spend about 24 times as much on Halloween pet costumes as they spend on reaching the unreached.

⛪️ It also means American Christians spend about 999 times more on all other causes than they spend on reaching the unreached.

Does this shock you? You’re not alone.

Thousands of Christians are waking up to the neglect of the unreached.

These firebrand disciples have concluded that NO ONE should live and die without access to Jesus’s good news.

They’ve devoted themselves to winning the unreached through prayer, advocacy, finances, and action—

and as a result, God is pouring out His Spirit on the 10/40 Window, saving souls, transforming lives, and igniting unreached villages for Christ.

The harvest is breathtaking. Thousands are coming to Jesus!

But so much work still remains.

Billions of unreached lives yet cry out for Jesus’s hope.

They need messengers of truth to proclaim the good news that Jesus died and rose for them.

Might you be their prayer warrior, their sender, their messenger?

Maybe this is your moment to say, ‘God, here I am, send me. I’m ready to help them however you ask.”

Empty Your Cup to Receive God’s Fullness

God gives the Holy Spirit to those who want to obey Him (see Acts 5:32).

To drink of the Holy Spirit’s power, first, we must empty the cup of our hearts through repentance and forgiveness.

1️⃣ Is there a sin or attitude you need to give to God in repentance?

2️⃣ Someone you need to forgive?

3️⃣ Something you must surrender to His will?

🙏📓 We invite you to take a moment to pray, meditate, privately journal your thoughts, and repent right away.

As God’s great missionary, Jesus ministered everywhere He could to preach the gospel to all who would hear.

In His journeys, He traveled “through all the towns and villages” of Israel (Matthew 9:35)—even to many small and despised villages that meant little to His contemporaries:

📍 He based His invasion of light out of Capernaum, a small town of simpleton farmers and fishers.
👣 He traveled to Samaria to preach good news to an adulterous woman whom no other religious Jew would have approached (John 4:4-27).
👑 He announced His kingdom in Nazareth, a place that many saw as good-for-nothing (John 1:46),
➕ and much more.

When we consider this, we realize Jesus considered no person or place insignificant.

He loved each person with an everlasting love, and planned His mission in a way that no one in Israel would fail to hear the good news.

Likewise, to successfully complete Jesus’s mission, we must bring the gospel to each and every person on Earth. Jesus commanded us to “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15 NKJV), and billions alive today have still never heard of Him—about half the world’s population.

As ambassadors of Christ, we need to speed up the work.

God calls us to share Jesus with everyone—
✅ the young and the old,
✅ the rich and the poor,
✅ the “significant” and the “insignificant,”
✅ and especially those who have never heard before.

We can’t pick and choose; only obey or disobey!

To follow Jesus's strategy, we must also bring the gospel to every town—every geographical location. This planet is home to about 17,000 people groups, and approximately 7,000 of them have little or no exposure to the gospel. Those are a lot of towns that need visits from God’s people!

No Christian can reach every culture alone, but we can each play our part. It’s time to put away our excuses and begin to send Jesus's hope to those who've never heard!

📉 Think the church is SHRINKING globally? Think again!

According to Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Christianity is growing faster than the global population rate.

🌎 The global population is increasing 0.87% annually.

✝️ Meanwhile, the good news is leading the way at 1.08% per year.

Where does this explosive growth come from?

Mostly from Africa and Asia, where Jesus is moving in breathtaking power to draw the lost, set captives free, and ignite unstoppable village churches.

As a result, millions who’d never heard Jesus’s name have now seen His glory, tasted His kindness, and surrendered all for His call.

Be encouraged—God is on the move!

But whatever you do, don’t forget the harvest is far from over—

☪️ Islam is growing faster than Christianity at 1.68%,
🕉️ Hinduism gaining close behind at 1.52%,
🌏 and to this day, almost HALF the world still has never heard Jesus’s good news.

These people search daily for hope, clarity, and cleansing only Jesus can truly provide.

Just like us, they’re racing toward judgment day—but unlike us, they’ve never heard of the Savior who can wash away their sins.

Would you like to reach these priceless image-bearers of God?

You can become God’s voice of hope to the unreached today.

We encourage you to send a lifeline through prayer, advocacy, and native missionary sponsorship.
