How to Find Unreached People Groups in Your City Using Google Maps

One of the simplest ways to discover the unreached in your area is by using Google Maps, along with resources like the Joshua Project, Unreached People Groups of North America and the Jesus Film App. These tools can help you identify the ethnic communities living in your region and understand their cultural and spiritual backgrounds. 

How to Get Started

1. Open Google Maps and create a new list of locations.
2. Use search terms to identify ethnic grocery stores, restaurants, and places of worship that serve immigrant communities.
3. Add each location you find to your list for further exploration and engagement.
4. Watch the tutorial below to see how I do it.

Suggested Search Terms

• Ethnic grocery
• Ethnic restaurant
• Mosque / Masjid
• Temple
• Shrine

By intentionally seeking out and engaging with these communities, you can build relationships and share the love of Christ with those who have never heard the gospel.

Let’s step out in faith and embrace this incredible mission opportunity—right in our own backyard.
