Nobody Told Them
Our Creator God wrote a book.
In His book, He tells us about Himself,
world history, the characters involved,
how things came to be what they are,
the problems of the present,
what His plans are for the future, and
His solution for every problem.
God is good!
Everybody ought to know.
All followers of Jesus
have this in common:
Someone told us about Jesus.
We did not know.
We were enemies of God.
We heard the message and
received the gift because
someone else literally died
to give us the Bible, God’s book,
in a language we understand.*
Someone else made sure
we heard God’s message and
had an opportunity
to believe God.
For those of us who have believed our Creator
about His goodness and holiness,
about our own sin, and
His provision for perfect righteousness
through faith in Jesus Christ,
heaven is a sure thing.
It’s based on believing
the Creator God’s promise
and receiving His gift.
If people clearly hear and understand God’s message
but choose not to believe Him,
that is their business.
If people have never heard or understood
God’s message to them,
then that’s our business.
Every person, living and dead, will have an encounter
face to face with the Living God.
Each of us will give an account
to Him in regard to what we did
with what we know of Him.
Did we believe Him?
Did we act on that belief?
Revelation 20:11-15
2 Corinthians 5:10
As near as can be determined,
the estimate is that one third
of the world’s eight billion people
have never been told.
This site is about those who are
still untold.

“I will cut off my finger if you don’t come tell my people about God.”
Hiking over the mountains, the man had come to ask for a missionary. Using a trade language, he could tell where he was from. No Christian anywhere spoke his language. The Bible did not exist in that language. Communicating abstract Biblical concepts in a language he understands across an entrenched worldview would take an investment of years. More than that, the Great Commission demands discipleship.
Who could be sent?
Many miles away, representatives of five other unreached language groups asked, “When is our turn to hear this message? We have no one. Who will tell us?”
They really don’t know the value of the treasure revealed in the message.
The treasure is Jesus and eternal life with Him.
He is the Creator of all things; the author and finisher of our faith.
Without Him was not anything made that was made.
He is the Author of life,
the only hope of eternal salvation.
He wants them to know Him and
they have not yet been told about Him.
Some ethnolinguistic people groups have realized
the impact that the message of eternal life
has had on nearby people groups
who have heard it.
Representatives from one hundred different language groups have already asked for a missionary.
Who will go do what it takes to tell them?
Who will say, “Here am I, send me?”
Language groups who have heard the message asked these questions:
“How long have your people held this message?”
“What took you so long to bring it to us?”
Most of the people of the two thousand unreached languages do not know enough to ask.
The “light of the glorious Gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God”
has not shone unto them.
It has been hidden from them. (2 Cor. 4:3-4)
Any of us who have heard the Good News about Jesus have this in common:
Someone told us.
Someone learned our language and told us about Jesus.
Someone translated in the Bible into our language so that we could read it.
Who will tell them about Jesus?
How will they realize the value of our treasure
unless someone who knows goes to tell them?
Who will go?
Who will send the messengers?
Will you?
Let’s work together to
send 100 missionaries,
each with 100 supporters,
to reach the untold.
