ENGAGE

The Unreached People Group
Abby Blazs, 405.513.7554
There are people groups around the world who have never heard the name of Jesus. These Unreached People Groups (UPG) are unaware of the Gospel, and most do not have the Bible in their language. Teams from Henderson Hills have been working towards adopting one of these UPGs. Please pray for the teams who are visiting and praying about certain locations and people groups. Pray that the Lord will give the leaders of the church clarity and peace about the people group the Lord is calling us to adopt.
