The numbers are overwhelming. The needs are great everywhere. We can't reach them all. Right? We might reach one. We might do for people of one unengaged language what we wish we could do for many.
We could pick one ethnolinguistic group of people who have no way to learn about Jesus to adopt them. We could…
Pray. Research. Inform. Prepare. Propose. Propel.
Pray. Pray that God will raise up laborers to tell your people group about Jesus Christ and equip them as ambassadors for Christ in the region where they live. Pray that God will prepare their hearts to hear, believe, and obey the Gospel.
Research. Learn more about this people group to discover the obstacles. Geography. Scripture access. Logistics. Governments. Language. Culture. Why do they have no access to the Gospel? What will it take to establish thriving churches among them? How can we pray for them?
Inform. Tell other people about your adopted people group. Ask other people to pray with you for them.
Prepare. Consider what you could do if God were to stir you alone as the primary advocate or catalyst for your group.
Propose. Invite other people to engage with you in considering ways to establish thriving churches among your people group. Propose ways for the people around you to engage to that end.
Propel. When God raises up someone to go reach your people group, do what you are able to strengthen, send, and support them until the mission has been accomplished.
