Reaching those who have yet to hear

“I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation." Romans 15:20

Approximately 99% of missions giving goes to places that are already reached with the Gospel.

Only 1% or less goes to reach the unreached people groups of the world.

JLM's target and calling are to the least reached, those who have never heard the gospel or had a Bible: UUPGs and UUUPGs.

Our works serve many nations around the world. Our quickest and most effective way to reach the unreached is to help visionary local leaders who have been gifted by God to effectively share the gospel, launch churches and advance God's kingdom.

These high impact leaders are local and need very little to serve God in their region and/or nation.

JLM’s “job” is to help and equip them.

Over the past 7 years

JLM has worked with 41 unengaged, unreached people groups (UUPGs) across 25 nations.

  • 28 UUPGs had such a gospel breakthrough that they can be removed from the list of worldwide UUPGs. 

  • More than 8,200 underground house churches have been started among UUPG’s and UPGs. 

  • More than 100,250 salvations have been recorded, and there have been countless more that are unrecorded due to government persecution and opposition.
