What is The Task Unfinished?
29% of the world’s population are considered unreached, that’s over 2 billion people with little access to a church, a believer or a bible.
Currently, among East Asia’s peoples, over 667 million people are still unlikely to meet a follower of Jesus.
Billions of East Asians do not know Christ, and millions have little to no access to the gospel, a Christian church, or even a single believer. We believe God is calling us to focus prayer, people and resources to bring the hope of Christ to unreached peoples in East Asia and around the world.
The Task Unfinished is a call for Christians worldwide to take the gospel to places where Christ is unknown. We believe every person on earth needs to hear the good news, whether from believers in their people group, from reading or hearing the Bible in their own language, or from churches in or near their community.
In the lead up to the Global Hymn Sing on 25th June this month’s prayer resource will help you to consider the need for the gospel to go to all nations and help you to pray for five strategic areas of The Task Unfinished.

How One Month in Thailand Changed My View of Missions
I grew up in the church but never really knew a lot about mission. What was mission even? It was a term I used to hear from older people in my church. But to me, it was nothing more than this vague concept. Little did I know that I would step into this “mission world” a few years later and discover mission was actually something understandable, colorful and beautiful, something I could be a part of.
Serve Asia Coordinator Appreciation – Morgan Hildebrand
I’m Morgan Hildebrand, originally from the US, and am now serving as the recently arrived Serve Asia coordinator for Tohoku (north-east) region of Japan. I’m taking over from the previous coordinator these next few months.
God Is Always at Work
If you had asked me earlier this year, I could have pointed to a few events and encounters as possible ‘confirmations’ that this was something God wanted me to do. So it seemed strange when just a couple of weeks later my plans had to be cancelled, or at least postponed.
What Gives You Hope Right Now?
During this uncertain time, there is still much to find hope in. We spoke to Karen from Australia about how she is dealing with the disappointment of having her Serve Asia short-term mission trip to Japan cancelled.
Lessons From Lockdown
How could we say goodbye to our Marilao life in 72 hours? It had taken 10 months to finally reach our level of adjustment. Surely this COVID lockdown was exactly what God had prepared us for. After all, he had put us under lockdown before.
What Are You Afraid Of?
Let’s face it, we had plenty to worry about before this virus came onto the scene. How do we respond in fearful situations? How should we deal with a crisis? Perhaps we can learn something from King Jehoshaphat.
