When missionaries talk about UPG’s (Unreached People Groups), most of us as Americans think of people living in huts on an island in the south Pacific, or deep in the heart of sub-Saharan Africa, and sometimes that’s true. But just as often as not, members of UPG’s live in some of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world.
This is a city of 2.5 million that most westerners have never heard of, that is the capital of a country that most have never heard of. It has unbelievably ancient roots, historic palaces, modern skyscrapers, incredible food, and wonderfully warm and friendly people, who not only aren’t Christians themselves, but who have probably never even met a Christian and have certainly never heard the Gospel of Grace. It is ancient yet modern, culturally and financially rich yet spiritually poor, European yet Asian, beautiful yet gritty, Muslim yet secular. And over 99% of its residents are lost and have no one to tell them about Jesus.
What are we going to do about that?
