Go

1. Start sharing the gospel with people.
2. Start intentionally shopping and eating in places that put you in contact with members of unreached people groups. (Yes, you can buy rice from a supermarket and use self-checkout to avoid talking to anyone, but you can also buy rice at the local Muslim grocery store. Which option gives you more Superplan opportunities?!).
3. Start intentional prayer and outreach among an unreached people group in your city or region. Do this with people from your church or other Christian friends.
4. Visit the families of immigrant friends you have made from unreached people groups in their home countries and connected diaspora communities throughout the world.
5. Contact a missions agency about joining them “on mission” on a short-term, mid-term, or long-term basis.
6. Lead a mission trip among unreached people groups in your country. For opportunities with Global Gates, visit globalgates.info/get-involved/volunteer.
