Because we live in a church saturated culture where Bibles can be
accessed on our phones and there are churches on every corner, it is
difficult to grasp that 2.7 billion people in the world have never
heard the name of Jesus, have no access to a Bible, have no
missionary, and may never hear the Gospel. Researchers have
identified around 7,000 people groups with a total population of 2.7
billion as being unreached—this is approximately 40% of the world’s
population! (source/resource
http://www.joshuaproject.net/)
All of these numbers can seem like random statistics. What if there
was a way to visualize the enormity of the task of reaching all of
these people with the life-changing message of the Gospel? Imagine a
60 ft. wall containing a list of the 1,587 largest unreached people
groups. This wall is called the Unleashed for the Unreached Prayer
Wall and helps to make the enormous task before us of reaching the
world for Christ visually memorable and calls believers to prayer.
The Unleashed for the Unreached Prayer Wall, previously
featured at the North American Christian Convention and the
International Conference on Missions, will be at Lincoln
Christian Church, Wednesday, November 20 through Wednesday, November
27. During this week, we have planned multiple opportunities for
you to interact with this prayer wall. Scheduled activities include:
• Wednesday, November 20 at 6:30 p.m.--Ah Ha Moment with Dr.
Wayne Shaw
• Saturday, November 23 from 6:00 p.m.-7:45 p.m.--Unleashed for the
Unreached seminar with Team Expansion President, Doug Lucas
• Sunday, November 24 at 8:15, 9:30, 11:00 a.m. Doug Lucas will be
preaching
• Open Time for Prayer Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Sunday
8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
• Additional prayer opportunities for individuals and groups will be
available throughout the week. Don’t miss this opportunity to reach
the world through prayer! Contact Lincoln Christian Church
217-732-7618 for more information or to schedule a time to come.
If you can’t come to any of the events, please check out the
resources on
http://www.joshuaproject.net/ where you can get a daily
email reminder to pray about an unreached people group and find out
more information about unreached peoples. If you would like to
commit to praying for a specific unreached people group, check out
the website http://www.u4theu.com/
and look for the form under contacts (http://www.u4theu.com/index.cfm?i=14872&mid=26&fid=6341)
. You can also follow Unleashed for the Unreached or Unreached
Peoples-Joshua Project on Facebook.
2nd Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner
Come and enjoy a Free Thanksgiving Meal on Sunday, November 24
from 4:00 – 7:00 PM at Open Arms Christian Fellowship. Last
year 300-400 people enjoyed this free meal and time of fellowship.
This year the church is preparing 20 Turkeys and all the fixings
(mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dressing and dessert.) We are
blessed to have Home Sweet Home Ministries of Bloomington/Mission
Mart of Lincoln partnering with OACF in this community event. All
the funds from selling Turkey Cards at the Lincoln Mission Mart are
staying in the Community helping with this meal and providing
Thanksgiving meals to others in need in Lincoln and Logan County.
You can purchase a Turkey Card for $2.00 during normal business
hours at Mission Mart and help others in our community. Please
spread the word and let others know of this Community Thanksgiving
Dinner. OACF is the church who annually brings you Family Fun Day.

to God and you matter here! Any questions, or for more information,
