The Need

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” - Jesus

In 6,500 of the world’s 11,000 people groups, there is no church, nor is there any work being done to establish a church. The Philippines has over 40 unreached people groups. These are the people among whom Ethnos360 works.

The Goal

To see a mature church planted and thriving on its own in an unreached people group in the Philippines.
