Do you know?

What does "unreached" mean in the phrase "unreached people group"?

How many unreached peoples are there?

What can the average Christian really do to advance the kingdom? Isn't missions work only for "super-Christians"?

Is reaching every tribe, language, people and nation even possible?

Do missionaries destroy cultures?

Most people have a vague understanding of the missions movement and what actually is (or could be) done out there in frontier missions contexts.
The U.S. Center for World Mission website has a huge database of missions resources that everyone - lay church members, pastors, teens, prospective missionaries, etc. - can use to get a better understanding of what God is doing in the world, and what He promises in Scripture to continue doing. One of the most exciting things about investing your life in missions (as either a goer or a sender) is that the expanse of God's kingdom is one of the few things in the world that is guaranteed to succeed! God IS accomplishing His purposes and it is an absolute privilege to participate, whether that means giving up two frappuccinos a month to give to missions, or selling all you have to move to a foreign field. I hope you'll take the time to look at the USCWM website, as well as the Joshua Project, to learn a little more about why we still need people to go, and people to send those who are called to go!
