Praying for the UnreachedSample

More than 3 billion people worldwide don’t have access to local churches, pastors, or Bibles in their native languages. They need to hear the good news! Join believers from around the world as we pray to reach those who’ve never heard the gospel.

East Asia includes China, Mongolia, Taiwan, Japan, and North and South Korea — 1.6 billion people in total. Buddhism, Shintoism, shamanism, ancestral worship, Sunni Islam, and atheism are all widespread in East Asia. Despite this, Christianity has made a significant impact in some countries, such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea. There is a high degree of persecution of Christians, especially in China and North Korea. 

The region’s 525 unreached people groups represent more than 304 million people. The Japanese are the largest, with 123 million people. The highest concentration of unreached people is found in China, with 443 unreached people groups.

PRAYING FOR EAST ASIA

- Pray for the translation and distribution of the Bible in the languages and dialects of unreached people groups, especially in communities without any Bibles. 

- Pray for faithfulness and bold witness among Christians under persecution in China and North Korea. 

- Pray for freedom from materialism in Japan. 

- Pray for opportunities for effective ministry among unreached people groups. 

- Pray for the hearts of the millions of unreached people in this region to be open to the gospel.
