“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.”

—John 15:4

Ethan and Grace are living in South Asia among one of the 7,200+ unreached people groups in the world—communities that have little to no access to the gospel. Barriers like difficult languages, government and religious systems hostile to the gospel and harsh geographical terrain all contribute to isolation of whole people groups from the good news of Jesus. In these regions, there may be no churches, no Bibles in the local language, and no believers nearby to share the good news. That’s why their presence matters.

Their ministry centers on long-term relationships, trust-building, and equipping local believers to plant churches in ways that are sustainable, faithful, and rooted in the culture.

Their day-to-day is filled with challenges—learning a new language, navigating visa requirements, and discipling in places where spiritual resistance runs deep. But their heart remains steady: to see the gospel take root in lives and multiply through local leaders who will one day reach their own people. In a place where most have never heard the name of Jesus, every prayer, every conversation, every act of service is sowing seeds for a spiritual harvest.

As you pray today, lift up these specific requests:

• Pray for Ethan and Grace to remain deeply rooted in Christ and walk in daily dependence on Him.
• Ask God to provide for their financial needs and clear the way for long-term visas.
• Pray for favor and perseverance as they learn the local language and cultural rhythms.
• Lift up their efforts in evangelism and discipleship—that each relationship would lead to lasting transformation.
• Pray for the birth and multiplication of healthy, gospel-centered churches among the unreached.
