An Invitation!

Ivan Veldhuizen
"…I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named..." Romans 15:20

I’m inviting you to something that could stimulate your church’s spiritual health and global reach. Would you consider sharing the International Day for the Unreached on May 24, 2026, with your congregation?

This will:

  • Inform your church of the reality that 1/3 of the world still has no access to the gospel.
  • Provide a clear opportunity to pray for those who still need to hear of Jesus.
  • Take a special offering to help reach the least-reached.

The Power of Global Engagement

I was a pastor for 28 years—and loved it! One of the surprising things I learned was that when our people were engaged globally and personally, a new level of spiritual vitality took root and breathed life into the ministry right where we were. Each church I led experienced dramatic growth and noticeable spiritual health because of our selfless engagement with the neediest places on earth.

Pastor and author, Rick Warren, has stated, “With more than3 billion people who haven’t had a chance to meet Jesus, it’s time to take a radical stand and say ‘This has to end in our generation.’”

I invite you to prioritize this important day and participate.

For all those who are here, near and far off.

Around the world, people groups and communities remain unreached—no gospel presence, no disciples, no church, no missionaries. Though distant to us, they are close to God’s heart. As Peter said at Pentecost, “This promise is for you, your children, and all who are far off.”
