Urbana Alumni
Urbana – InterVarsity Christian Fellowship’s triennial student mission convention held at the University of Illinois at Champaign has had some 225,000 attendees since its first get together in 1946.
If you are an alum of Urbana, you’ve been challenged to participate in the Great Commission. After attending Urbana, whether it was the last one in December or one of the conventions earlier on, you’ve no doubt thought “how can I be involved, how can I make a difference in reaching the Unreached people of the world?”
Reach The Unreached would like to help you to have a part in reaching the remaining Unreached people groups in the world. We would like to help you be an integral part in fulfilling the Great Commission
If you’re like those of us who are involved with Reach The Unreached, you’ve had a desire to get your gifts invested with those who are “in the field,” actually doing the work of reaching the people groups still lacking a viable body of Christian believers.
There are some 16,000 people groups in the world today, and of those, over 6,000 are still Unreached. They don’t have an indigenous community of believing Christians able to evangelize their own, resulting in the establishment of a significant witness among their culture. This is a gaping hole in the fulfillment of the Great Commission!
We can help you get your donations into the hands of those who have made the commitment to live among the Unreached, endeavoring to establish God’s Kingdom. We’ve made it easy for Urbana alumni to invest in the Kingdom, as it relates to supporting those who are on the “frontlines” living among the Unreached people groups.
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!
