Have you ever wondered why there are Unreached People Groups in countries like the US where there are a multitude of faithful churches? It’s because of the barriers that separate one people group from another. Sometimes these can be geographical, but they are also things like language, culture, and core beliefs. These factors can become obstacles to the spread of the Gospel, but of course, they aren’t insurmountable. This is why missionaries are needed who can learn language and culture and present the Gospel to a people group in their context.
