With more than three billion people in the world living without access to the gospel (or more than 4 in 10), it\u2019s vital that we are continuously sending more people to new places to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why, as Global Partners, we have felt the urgency to launch new mission fields in unreached areas of the world. And praise God that doors are being opened to do so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re so excited to share more about Kethra, our newest field in the Turkic-Arabic Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKethra\u201d [a pseudonym] is a location that is more than 99% Muslim, with very few Christians. Any current Christian missionary presence there is very small. Historically, this people group has been difficult for outsiders to reach due to a lack of permission to live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strict religious laws (and punishment for breaking religious laws) have kept missionaries from entering the country\u2014even as a marketplace multiplier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It simply seemed impossible to get to this people group, let alone tell them about Jesus. Recently, some of the obstacles that have kept this country\u2019s \u201cdoors closed\u201d have started to fade, ultimately creating an openness among the people there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now is the time to go! Currently, we have five individuals who are appointed to go and start this new work, with two or three others prayerfully discerning how God might be leading them to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the full story<\/a>. Always interesting to see how agencies and mobilizers talk about sensitive places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Global Partners, March 18, 2025 With more than three billion people in the world living without access to the gospel (or more than 4 in 10), it\u2019s vital that we are continuously sending more people to new places to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
