Reach Ethnic Groups

Bringing the gospel to all people
Take Your Next Step

Ready to reach ethnic groups in your community, but not sure where to start?

As North America continues to become more diverse, opportunities to share the gospel have never been greater. But when it comes to reaching other ethnic groups, it can be challenging to know where to start and how to be effective.

However, sharing the gospel is easier than you think. All you need are the right tools to get equipped. With resources from EveryEthne, your church can get practical guidance to help you become more effective at sharing the good news.

Heart, Mind & Soul Seminars

You can build grace and truth relationships with people who are not like you.

The Heart, Mind & Soul Seminars are interactive and designed to help believers build grace and truth relationships with unbelieving individuals within their communities. Throughout the seminar, we take the believer on a journey that guides them toward loving and engaging the unbelieving individual in a biblically, culturally, and actionably appropriate manner.

The seminars shed light on some common misconceptions between the differing people groups and Christians. This helps you and your church better understand the core beliefs, feelings, and values often found in these varying communities. Your church members will come away equipped to build relationships based on both grace and truth with the unbelieving person in their workplace, neighborhood, or family.

ESL Ministries

Equipping the church to use English outreach to build cross-cultural relationships.

ESL (English as a Second Language) holds the unique potential to foster redemptive relationships by creating a welcoming environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can connect, learn, and grow.

Through the process of language acquisition, students and teachers form bonds that transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, allowing for genuine friendships to develop. These relationships provide a platform to share God’s love, demonstrate empathy, and offer practical support, ultimately leading to spiritual growth and transformation within the community.

We Engage Churches in Reaching Unreached People Groups

By 2027, our goal is to mobilize 100 churches to make disciples among 5 unreached people groups now living in North America. EveryEthne can help get your church involved in this vital effort.

  • We can connect your church with missionaries who are living among these people groups so you can partner in this vital ministry through praying, giving, and sending.
  • We can provide the information you need to adopt a specific unreached people group in North America.
  • We can help your church send missionaries for short-term trips or longer-term service.

This kind of mission engagement changes the hearts of people and the culture of churches. To mobilize your church to reach the unreached here in North America, email our team to get involved.

Open Toronto⚬

Your church can help reach unreached peoples in Toronto

What is the Open Toronto Initiative?
The Open Toronto Initiative is all about making disciples among unreached people groups. More than 50% of people living in the Greater Toronto Area were born in another country. Many of them come from places with no Gospel witness. God brought these people to Canada, and we want to share the love of Christ with them.
Prayer Requests
  • Pray that “B” and his family will get the paperwork needed from the Canadian government to emigrate to Toronto. “B” planted a church in a southeast Asian country among one of the most unreached Muslim groups in the world. Over 100 people have been saved and are attending this church. “B” Has also been discipling leaders to shepherd the people, evangelize, and plant new churches. “B” and his family are refugees who cannot get status in their country of residence, so we are working to bring them to Toronto to reach the unreached with the Gospel.
  • Pray for local church partnerships. We are partnering with the Fellowship of Baptist Churches in Canada to work with existing churches to equip church planters from various people groups to make disciples and start new churches. Pray that ten more churches will engage with us this year.
  • Pray for “C” who has been building relationships with Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus for the past 10 years in the Greater Toronto Area. Pray that “C” will get the support he needs to stay on the field. He has the knowledge and relationships needed to move this initiative forward and train new missionaries.
  • Pray for funds to start a community center that will serve immigrants and provide repeated opportunities for them to hear and respond to the Gospel. You can give here to this project. Our goal is to raise $1 million.
Give Here

To accomplish all that God wants to do through the Open Toronto Initiative will require sustained, strategic partnerships between EveryEthne, ABWE Canada and local churches who share God's heart for unreached peoples.

Why Toronto?

The Joshua Project estimates that there are 7,391 unreached people groups in the world. A people group is designated ‘unreached’ when less than 2% of the population is evangelical Christian. Many of these live in hard-to- reach places where it is difficult for missionaries to enter.

Today, God is bringing some of those unreached people groups to our doorstep! The Joshua Project has determined that 32 of these unreached people groups live within the Greater Toronto Area. That’s more than any other major world city!
