Today is International Day for the Unreached, when believers around the world pause to pray for “unreached” people groups—those communities where there may be no local church, no Scripture in their language, and little to no access to the gospel.
Jesus gave the church a clear commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). The word translated “nations” points not merely to political countries, but also to ethnic groups. It is fitting that this day highlighting the unreached falls on Pentecost Sunday, when we remember the Holy Spirit empowering the church to bear witness to Christ across languages, cultures, and peoples.
At Feed the Hunger, we are burdened for places where spiritual and physical hunger overlap, especially in communities that are both vulnerable and unreached. Many of our partners are serving in or near these kinds of communities in places like Mali, Ghana, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
In addition to the prayer requests below, please take a few minutes this Sunday to pray for the unreached, particularly in places where Feed the Hunger partners are serving. You can use the Joshua Project Prayer Map to choose a people group in one of these countries, learn their name, and pray specifically for them. Ask God to open doors for the gospel, strengthen local believers and ministry partners, provide Scripture in every language, and bring many to faith in Jesus Christ.

For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations. |
