Did you know that a third of humanity has no access to the gospel? If you were born into an unreached people group, would you want missionaries to prioritize ministry to the unreached? Why does nearly 97% of the world's missionaries go to places where the church already exists? Listen in as Dave has a conversation with Dr. Marvin Newell.

Dr. Newell is the newly-appointed Executive Director of Alliance for the Unreached and staff missiologist for Missio Nexus, a network of evangelical mission agencies, churches, and training centers in North America. Previously he served as a missionary to Indonesia. Marv is the author of four mission-related books and holds a Doctorate of Missiology degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

In this episode, your faith will be challenged to remember those who do not have access to the gospel and the importance of mobilizing missionaries to these unreached people groups. The 2021 International Day for the Unreached is May 23, 2021.

 

Some of the topics discussed:

1. How did the Alliance for the Unreached begin?

2. Why the focus on unreached people groups?

3. Some missions leaders have taken the position that we shouldn't focus on unreached people groups. How should we respond to them?

4. How can mobilizers, missionaries, and mission pastors utilize some of the Alliance's resources?

5. How can churches and mission agencies partner with the Alliance?

6. What's the future vision for the Allisnce for the Unreached?
