Embark on an awe-inspiring journey as we engage in an enlightening conversation with my dear friend, Jack Crabtree. Together, we plunge headfirst into the heart of the Papua New Guinea jungle, home to the Wantakia People Group. 
For the past nine years, Jack, his wife Lael, and their children, and their teammates have been immersing themselves in this remote tribal community, striving to introduce them to the light of God's Word. 

Jack's journey has been filled with distinctive challenges and remarkable rewards. Come, hear his firsthand account of life deep in the jungle, balancing family living with missionary work. We'll explore the Wantakia's cultural practices, their animism-based belief system, and their spiritual challenges. Jack provides an enlightening perspective on these topics, alongside discussing his work on creating an alphabet, teaching literacy, and translating the Bible for the Wantakia tribe. 

Our conversation also takes a deeper look into the community development initiatives undertaken by Jack and his team. From delivering a tractor to establishing a water project, their tireless efforts to enhance the tribe's resources have been nothing short of inspirational. 
As we wrap up, we share Yedas's moving testimony on the Gospel's transformative impact on his life. Join us as we reflect on the power of prayer, the mission of God, and consider how each of us can contribute to the cause of Christ. This in-depth discussion promises to challenge, inspire, and potentially reshape your faith.

Welcome to the UNREACHED Podcast! 
This week, we're setting the stage with an incredible conversation with Dr. Todd Ahrend, founder and director of The Traveling Team. Together, we will explore the monumental task remaining of reaching the 7,000 unreached people groups in the world. We share awe-inspiring stories of God's work and the incredible individuals he has called to this mission. We also discuss the critical issue of misallocation of resources and how university students are becoming some of the most sendable workers to reach these unreached groups.

In our quest to understand the mission of the Church we journey through Biblical history and dissect the FIVE (yes, five) Great Commission texts. Our exploration leads us across the Roman Empire with Paul and into his compelling letters filled with passion for the mission of the Church.

We walk you through the 10-stage "Within Reach Progress Scale", which covers learning languages, translating scripture, and running a business among others. So, tune in and join our enlightening conversation as we share captivating stories of God's work through those called to reach the unreached.
