four reasons to prioritize the unreached
The Priority of Mission
There are lots of good things, but for missions, a focus on the unreached is best
In three weeks, the ministry I lead, Missio Nexus, will gather with over 1,000 mission leaders in Louisville for our annual Missions Leaders Conference and National Church Missions Leaders Conference. Our theme is Priority. Fifty years ago, Ralph Winter highlighted the need to prioritize some people groups over others, based on their lack of access to the gospel. We have been chewing on this topic all year long and I look forward to further conversation about it.
I believe that we must prioritize the unreached in missions. That means that unreached people group ministry should be given more attention, resources, people, and prayer.
