Jesus wants to be worshipped among every people group.
In Revelation, a picture is painted of what this will look like in heaven. People from all over the world, representing every language, culture, and ethnicity will be surrounding Christ in heaven worshiping Him.
“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.”
Prior to Jesus’ departure he gave us, His church, the responsibility of making His name famous among these people. We’re talking about people who have never heard about Jesus. Place in this world where the church of Jesus Christ does not exist. Let's change that! It has been said that outreach is the church growing where it is and missions is the church going where it is not. May we, Northside, do our part in bringing the gospel to places where it does not exist.
What Can I Do?
We truly believe that each person has a part to play in the Great Commission. We have simplified that belief into 3 categories:

GPS RESEARCH TEAM
Fresno is a very large city, making it difficult to locate where our Punjabi Sikh neighbors live. There are many that live in our very own neighborhoods but we want to know where the large concentrations are in Fresno.
To address this challenge, GPS is developing a Research Team that will help us survey the field and locate the concentrated pockets in our community where Punjabi Sikhs live. This will better develop a strategy to reach them with the gospel.
If you would like to be part of this Research Team, please email Pastor Tommy Corrao to find out when this project will begin and what the commitment will be.
