WORLD: A Third Without Access to the Gospel

Source: The Alliance for the Unreached, May 14, 2021

On May 23, 2021, the Alliance for the Unreached, a nonprofit collective made up of 50+ organizations, is inviting people across the US to join a Facebook Live event at 1:11 pm (in each US time zone). This event will kick off the 1:11 Prayer Challenge, which is part of the “A Third of Us” movement. A Third of Us raises awareness for the one third of all people still without access to the Bible, the Church, and other believers.

Throughout the day on May 23, the Alliance will release exclusive video chats with David Platt, Francis Chan, and others, offering a more personal look at this issue.

During the 1:11 Prayer Challenge, participants will be asked to pause at 1:11 pm each day for 33 days to pray for the “third of us” who have no access to the message of Jesus. The Alliance for the Unreached chose May 23 to kick off the challenge because it is the International Day for the Unreached, recognized each year on Pentecost Sunday.
