Unreached People Groups
Currently, 41.7% or 3.24 Billion people are a part of an Unreached People Group and have either no access to the Gospel or no indigenous community of believing Christians. Without the access or the community, how are they to hear of the joys of Christ and Christ crucified?
The Missionary Dilemma
Two of the most common threats to modern missions and reaching the unreached are:
the high rate of missionaries prematurely returning for preventable reasons in locations with ‘hard soil’
the lack of sound theological groundedness and adequate preparation time with the community of faith
Our Conclusion
In light of the above realities we have come to a few conclusions:
With the amount of Unreached People Groups and the opportunity to further the Gospel message, we know we are called to go and make disciples of the Unreached.
In order to avoid these threats, we are committed to the rigorous study of languages, history, and theology so that we might be more grounded and prepared to minister in the hard places around the world.
This commitment equally extends to a faithful service and discipleship in and by the local church community for the sake of our maturity as ministers of the Gospel.
We can not and should not do this alone.
“If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?”
~ David Livingstone (17th century Scottish Minister)
