God has given people a map for their lives, oriented around his purposes. This map is likened to one found in a mall or airport, with a dot indicating the user's location. For Christians, their church serves as this reference point.
However, there are many areas without access to the gospel, churches, or Christians. These unreached peoples and places are scattered throughout the world. A key verse in the Gospel of John highlights Jesus's concern for them.
Jesus mentions having other sheep that are not of his current fold, and he must bring them to listen to his voice. Further details about this concept can be found through the source, which explores the idea of reaching unreached peoples and the role of churches in this effort.
