Because we live in a church saturated culture where Bibles can be accessed on our phones and there are churches on every corner, it is difficult to grasp that 2.7 billion people in the world have never heard the name of Jesus, have no access to a Bible, have no missionary, and may never hear the Gospel. Researchers have identified around 7,000 people groups with a total population of 2.7 billion as being unreached—this is approximately 40% of the world’s population! (source/resource http://www.joshuaproject.net/)

All of these numbers can seem like random statistics. What if there was a way to visualize the enormity of the task of reaching all of these people with the life-changing message of the Gospel? Imagine a 60 ft. wall containing a list of the 1,587 largest unreached people groups. This wall is called the Unleashed for the Unreached Prayer Wall and helps to make the enormous task before us of reaching the world for Christ visually memorable and calls believers to prayer.

The Unleashed for the Unreached Prayer Wall, previously featured at the North American Christian Convention and the International Conference on Missions, will be at Lincoln Christian Church, Wednesday, November 20 through Wednesday, November 27. During this week, we have planned multiple opportunities for you to interact with this prayer wall. Scheduled activities include:
• Wednesday, November 20 at 6:30 p.m.--Ah Ha Moment with Dr. Wayne Shaw
• Saturday, November 23 from 6:00 p.m.-7:45 p.m.--Unleashed for the Unreached seminar with Team Expansion President, Doug Lucas
• Sunday, November 24 at 8:15, 9:30, 11:00 a.m. Doug Lucas will be preaching
• Open Time for Prayer Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
• Additional prayer opportunities for individuals and groups will be available throughout the week. Don’t miss this opportunity to reach the world through prayer! Contact Lincoln Christian Church 217-732-7618 for more information or to schedule a time to come.
