Do Your Part – A Latte A Day
We are currently sending monthly support to missionaries working among the Unreached.
We have a list of workers who are working to reach the Unreached. These workers are currently living on very little and need additional support to continue their ministry of living among the Unreached and exposing the Unreached to the Good News of the Gospel.
Generous donations are needed. Would you consider giving the equivalent of a-latte-a-day to Reach The Unreached? Your investment in establishing God’s Kingdom where it has yet to be established would go directly into the hands of those working to do just that!
$2.75 per day would go a long way to help support those willing to go and live among the Unreached. Can you imagine being part of an initial group of 1,000 “World Christians” giving a-latte-a-day for the purpose of reaching the remaining Unreached people groups?
That’s $1,000,000 each year invested in establishing God’s Kingdom among the Unreached.
DO YOUR PART!
Be Part of Something That Matters…To God!
We need to be involved in what matters to God. His desire is that we all be fully devoted followers of Christ. As such, we are to be involved in leading people of every nation (ethnos) to become fully devoted followers of Christ. After nearly 2,000 years there are still thousands of people groups (ethnos) that don’t have an adequate Christian witness living among them. Let’s do something about this!
Jesus’ last words – His last request, as it were – to his disciples was the Great Commission – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (ethnos).” Matthew 28:19
Today there are still more than 6,000 Unreached people groups that don’t have a significant number of disciples among their own.
As Jesus’ “last request,” it seems of the utmost importance that we be involved in fulfilling our Lord’s request. Reaching the Unreached peoples of the world needs to be at the forefront of our efforts as World Christians. It’s not enough to leave it to missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ last request. As it is, only 4% of those working as missionaries are working among Unreached people groups. Additionally, less than 2% of the money given to “foreign missions” goes to the work of reaching Unreached people groups.
That’s not a very good response to a “last request” – especially a “last request” from the Lord of the universe and the Lord of our lives.
Each of us who are followers of Christ need to be involved in this endeavor, working together with Christians around the world to reach the remaining Unreached people groups of the world. God’s desire is to have at a minimum, a “beach-head” of “culturally close” Christians living within each of the over 6,000 Unreached people groups. But what if each of us was involved according to our ability, to do more than just the minimum, and collectively worked together to see God’s Kingdom come where it has yet to be established.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations (ethnos), and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
What if we give to such a degree, investing in what matters to God, and support “culturally close” Christians who are eager to reach the Unreached people groups throughout the world.
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. Revelation 7:9
You Can Make a Huge Difference!
Let’s work with those willing to take the Gospel to, and live their lives among the Unreached people groups of the world. The Unreached are those belonging to a people group within which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians able to evangelize the group. Let’s team up with those workers who have few cultural hurdles to overcome. These “culturally close” workers can often do “the reaching” relatively inexpensively with great results. Together let’s work to increase the Kingdom of God – establishing significant indigenous communities that can in turn reach each of the Unreached people groups in the world.
If each of us would do what we have the potential to do, together we could reach the Unreached people groups. Right now, progress is being made in reaching Unreached people groups throughout the world – but that is with only 4% of all “missionaries” working among the remaining Unreached people groups. Additionally, the inroads that are being made, is with only 2% of the money given to missions. That’s not 2% of all money given to the Church – but 2% of the money given by Christians just to “mission work.”
Can you imagine what would happen – how effective “culturally close” ambassadors of the Gospel could be, if we Christians with the ability to give a little (in some cases, much) more, would support the work of reaching the remaining Unreached people groups? By investing in reaching the Unreached people groups we could have a part in seeing God’s Kingdom come where it has yet to be established.
Clearly, God is interested in having …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. Revelation 7:9 Shouldn’t those of us, who are interested in the “interests” of God, be involved to the best of our abilities in reaching the Unreached people groups that remain?
There are still over 6,000 Unreached people groups, comprising well over 25% of the world’s population.
As a minimum, what if each of us “gave a latte-a-day” to the cause of reaching the Unreached people groups that are without a significant Christian “witness” among them? By giving $2.75 a day, you could have a part in establishing God’s Kingdom where it has yet to be established. Encourage others to do the same, and together let’s see a “viral” (internet jargon) movement, that will substantially, take up the cause of Reaching the Unreached!
Let’s Do it Differently
Let’s make it easy, not hard for workers to go live their lives among Unreached people groups. Let’s reward those who are willing to be a “point person” in establishing God’s Kingdom where it has yet to be established. Together, let’s raise millions of dollars to help support workers dedicated to finishing the Great Commission among the Unreached.
For years missionaries have had to make financial sacrifices to be involved with world evangelism. What if those of us living in relative ease gave to such an extent, that those spreading the Gospel could thrive financially while being a “point person” reaching the Unreached?
What about a new kind of missions funding for missionaries who are dedicated to finishing the task of world evangelization among Unreached people groups. What if missionaries who take the Gospel to Unreached people groups and live their lives in a godly manner among the Unreached were paid as well as we pay our pastors? It sounds a little extreme, but what about rewarding those who are willing to take the Gospel and live their lives among the Unreached, in order to see God’s Kingdom come, where it has yet to be established.
What if we give to the dedicated, who are sacrificing and risking to live among Unreached people groups. Those of us at home should be involved in making sure those on the “front lines” of reaching Unreached people groups are well compensated. Instead of missionaries having to be concerned about making ends meet, wouldn’t it be great to have those working among Unreached people groups be able to focus on the mission at hand?
One great thing from a support/investment standpoint, is that most of those working among Unreached people groups are able to do so for far less than the majority of us could. Those who are “culturally close” to the Unreached living in the “10/40 Window,” can go and live among the Unreached relatively inexpensively. Donations given to Reach The Unreached will be money well spent in establishing God’s Kingdom among the Unreached people groups of the world.
