Unreached Youth

Abstract

In recent times, world mission and its diverse strategies have been emphasized. However, at times there is confusion as to what is good and effective mission strategy in reaching the Unreached People Groups because of so much materials and information. An attempt needs to be made to understand the effective mission strategies for reaching the Unreached People Groups. Therefore, the study of precedent missionaries who are mission strategists, scholars, and pastors is an important process. The paper covers the three parts. The first part of the paper is about the background information on the people group (history, language, culture, economy, religion, family; also include a nice map detailing where the people group live). The second part of the paper is a survey of missions work to this people (status of the church, how many known believers, challenges, present strategies; if possible contact a missionary presently working with this group). The third and the last part of the paper is proposed strategy.
