I have been thinking a long time about how to be more strategic in missions. This is not just personal missions, but missions for the church as a whole. I think that it is amazing that there are 113 unreached people groups within the North American Continent. Right now we are the most progressive and strategic minded continent as far as church and missions go. Still, we have 113 unreached people groups. Have we forgotten about our “Judea and Samaria.”
I think that there is a way for us to continue to reach all the people of the world and also reach the unreached people groups on our own continent. Like international mission, it is important to send missionaries to the people who have not heard the gospel here. They could spend time with the people, learn the culture, and share Christ with them.
This is idea is probably nothing new under the sun. I am sure the NAMB (North American Mission Board) has this all under control. I fear that the American Church has lost its way. We should not have an unreached people group here.
More thoughts coming soon….
