The Great Commission serves as the primary call and purpose of Christians all around the world. The person that heads this call and purpose and follows the example of Christ is one that may experience many things. This person may experience sacrifice, discomfort, doubt, and maybe even persecution or death. On the other hand, this person will definitely experience purpose, rewarding relationships, God’s power, God’s blessing, and the knowledge that they are right where God wants them to be. This person or person(s) will be spreading the gospel of Christ to areas and people where the gospel has never been heard before, and there is no greater service that one can provide. One of these areas is located in North Africa, in the country of Algeria. Algeria has a population...

...UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP PROJECT ABSTRACT: THE NEHO OF COTE D’IVOIRE ABSTRACT Have you ever wondered why Christians call each other brothers and sisters? This is due to the fact that we are supposed to be a family. Think of the members in your family. If there was information that was important for the members of the family to know, it would spread until everyone knew regardless of if they accepted the information or not. This should be done to also in God’s family even with members that do not know the gospel. They way to open the communications with people that do not know the gospel is with love. Like a family member that needs something you give help with your love and let the course to knowledge flow from there. Using the information found on the Joshua Project there is 41.9 percent of people unreached by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Joshua Project shows that there are 41.3 percent of people in the world that do not know the Gospel. This paper will focus on Neho people found in the Cote d’Ivoire which is also called the Ivory Coast. The Neho people are not Christians and as of date even though there are many Christians are in the south of Cote d’Ivoire. While bringing medical, agriculture, and other supplies are needed, nothing connects people better than family. This paper will give a brief background of the Neho people which will include their history, language, culture, economy, religion, and family structure. This paper will also go into the history and current...

God went on to also extend a blessing to all those nations (Genesis 22:17), however everyone in every nation has not realized or fail to believe the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Fortunately, God has also given a provision for hope to those who are considered to be “unreached” by the Gospel. It is through the command issued to his disciples in Matthew 28:19, “go ye therefore and teach all nations,” that Christians today can literally change the world by taking the gospel to all four corners of the earth. Paul’s missionary journeys took him to places he probably would not have gone without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. However, the challenges of safety, and expenses of that era made it virtually impossible for Paul to have the same mission opportunites that mission...

...other believers to engage with those who do not know Christ. This may be across town or on the other side of the globe. The way in which Christian missions spreads the gospel is different for every culture, even though the message is the same. To some degree, the method must be specific to the hearers. Different degrees of education, sophistication, and familiarity with Christian concepts will influence how the gospel can be shared. Every Christian is called to missions in their own lives. Jesus charges all of us to reach others with His message. It is not easy, but as we learn to love people like God does, we find sharing the truth about God essential to the Christian life. A missionary proclaims Jesus as Savior and Lord. Whom do they tell? Jesus made it clear that Christians are to reach out to “all the nations”, especially those ethnic groups without a Gospel witness. Unreached people groups are still waiting for the way, truth, and life found in. But Christians at home should be missionaries in their own communities, doing personal evangelism Missionaries do more than evangelism. The commission was to make disciples, not immature believers. Thus, a Christian missionary’s outreach involves evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. These...

The ultimate goal of any missionary is to bring people (entire people groups) into a passionate, relationship with God. John Piper states, “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man…It is a temporary necessity.” Taking it a step further, it is out of God’s love for Him that makes missions possible. The reality is that mankind has tasted God’s grace and love toward our fellow man by sharing what we have tasted, namely, God’s love. Steven Hawthorne notes that, “Worship fulfills God’s love. He loves people so vastly that He wills them to something better than greatness; He wants to bring them into an honored nearness to Him.” This is what I see in Isaiah. We see Isaiah worshipping God in all His glory and splendor and then God asks one of the most important...

The proposed strategy to work with the language barrier will be orality and storytelling will be implemented. The use of chronological Bible story telling will be used along with the use of electronic media this is called secondary orality, and finally a recorded oral Bible. The use of orality and storytelling will be of good use, due the fact they speak Spanish and Arabic. Getting local authorities to allow access to local radio will help the need to evangelize. And audio ministry tapes in their native language will be a highly valuable tool to be used. The strategy for church planting for this region we will be using Church...

...LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Unreached People Group Project Submitted to Dr. Harold Pruitt, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of GLST 500 – D11 Global Studies Survey by Garnet E. Cook III November 29, 2015 Abstract Missions is the last command that Christ gave before ascending back to Heaven. The Great Commission is as important today as it was over two thousand years ago when it was given to the first believers. It is evident with the current events happening across the globe that the Gospel is still desperately needed. The rise of Islam and the current move of Jihad, it makes it all more important that we reach the world for Christ. According to the Central Intelligence Agency, 99.7 percent of those living in Afghanistan are of the Islam faith and only .3 percent of a mix between Judaism, Christianity and other faith groups. Afghanistan is a country that has been torn apart by war since the early part of the 2000’s. Even though there has been war in this country for years, there are still reported to be 33,443,000 people living in Afghanistan. This many people living in this country and only a fraction of a percent being Christian, (Joshua Project reports that only .1 percent are professing Christians) makes the need for the Gospel a high priority. Christians living in countries that are mainly Islamic face persecution for their beliefs and possible death. It is a challenge for mission teams to effectively...

This programme, run through NGOs, is present in more than 18 Indian states and benefits a number of women and youth. "Gaon Chalo" is a distinctive rural marketing initiative started in the year 2006 in Uttar Pradesh by Tata Tea. For penetrating the rural market, the company partnered with NGOs with wide reach among Uttar Pradesh's rural masses. The "Gaon Chalo project has created employment opportunities to the youth of villages and small towns. It has brought steady income to those who are distributors of Tata Tea. Tata Tea's consolidated market shares from rural areas rose from 18% to 26.6%.

...Tribes of North Dakota – the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Sahnish. The tribes believe and trace their presence in North America from the beginning of time. The first known account of the Mandan is by a French trader named Sieur de la La Verendrye in the fall of 1738. The Hidatsa was known as the Minnetaree or GrosVentre. “Hidatsa” was formerly the name of the village occupied by these tribes. “The term “Hidatsa” became a corruption of the word “midah-hutsee-ahti” translated meaning “house or lodge made with willows.” The name Minnetaree, spelled in various ways means, “to cross the water.” The name Hidatsa came from within and means willow people. A large amount of archaeological evidence suggests that some Hidatsa were present in their historically known location by the early 1600. This location is known today as North Dakota. They were surrounded by nearby groups such as the Mandan and Crow, with whom the Hidatsa were friendly with...

How can we order more copies?” —Pastor J.P., Lakeside, Oregon “Your book stirred me to tears and drove me to prayer!” —Miss J.S., Towson, Maryland “I have read Revolution in World Missions twice, and now I am more convinced than ever that investing in national missionaries and Bridge of Hope children will yield better returns than silver or gold. Thank you for waking me up, Brother K.P.” —Mr. K.G., Calgary, Alberta “I read your book and think it is one of the most dynamic, down-to-earth books that I have ever read. I want to give a copy to our pastor, each board member and selected other people at our church.” —Mr. P.W., Santa Margarita, California “K.P. Yohannan’s book draws the Church back to the very heart of what Christ has called us to do. I would urge every Christian, and especially every pastor, to read this book with a humble heart before the Lord. I’m reading it through again, and it’s still a heart-stirring blessing.” —Pastor M.W., Worthing, England “We have been challenged and convicted by Revolution in World Missions. We believe that our Lord Jesus is offering us the chance to share in His work in Asia—a chance we don’t want to miss!” —Mr. and Mrs. M.D., Pacifica, California “We both read K.P.’s book and were very moved to change part of our lifestyle to further the Gospel.

...variety of communication methods to keep people informed and processes operating smoothly. Those business owners understand that communication is a continuous process and watch for hurdles that can pop up at any point to get in the way of clear, accurate, timely, effective communication with employees, customers and the public. By knowing what to look for you can take steps to prevent obstacles and resolve issues quickly when they do arise. Diversity Every person has a unique frame of reference that filters how they view the world. Differences in age, gender, ethnicity, religion and other factors all create different points of view. Diversity helps work teams bring more solutions to the table. But those filters can also cause the receivers to interpret messages differently than the sender intended or create different expectations. Distance Businesses must find ways to keep communication channels open with people who are away from the office, such as a remote sales force or people who work from home. Some companies deliver information to mobile devices or schedule regular meetings so employees can anticipate and schedule their trips and sales calls around them. The challenges are even greater for companies that do business globally. Cross-cultural communication adds different languages, business norms, distance and time zones to the equation. Technology Email, social media, the web and mobile devices allow people to communicate with people around the globe at warp speed. But technology...

...Muslim countrymen. Their forbearers once embraced Christianity, but they became converts to Islam through the intermingling with the people of neighboring countries where they fled for their lives in the 1860s. More recently Islam was completely accepted when they instituted sharia law. They are rich in outreach, having been adopted by several churches. They have a New Testament and Children’s Bible translated into their language, the JESUS Film, and literature in their language. But still, there has been no church planted. The few Adyghe believers attend a Russian Baptist Church and are being assimilated into the ranks and culture of the Russians rather than flowering in their own setting. This limits the outreach to their own people. * Pray that the veil will be lifted from the eyes of the Adyghe people. * Pray also that they will see the truth and put their faith in Christ alone. * Pray that the Lord will send long-term missionaries to form relationships with the Adyghe, and that key leaders will be raised up among the Adyghe people who will boldly proclaim the gospel. * Pray that God will use Christians in Ukraine to reach out to the West Circassians. Day 2 Day 2 Isolated! That is how the Aghul people are described in the Joshua Project website. They live in a very mountainous region.
