Unreached People...
2.5 Million Native American Indians live in the U.S. and remain an unreached people group.

The U.S. Center for World Missions classifies a people group as "unreached" if they do not have a culturally relevant church that is capable of reaching the group without assistance.

In Minneapolis less than 1.5% of the 14,000 Native American Indian population attend church.

We can make a difference, but we need your help!

" He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions."
Psalm 107:20
