PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Explore the Unreached Frontier of Global Mission
In a world full of digital connections and globalization, a startling truth remains hidden in plain sight: countless communities have yet to hear the transformative message of the gospel. A mere fraction of global missionaries--less than 4 percent--are devoted to the unreached people groups (UPGs). This glaring disparity reveals a challenge in modern missiology.
People Vision is a benchmark study of the people group paradigm that underscores its vital role in the twenty-first century. Leveraging insights from those in the Majority World, over sixty authors reexamine our understand-ing of people group missiology from the lens of Scripture, reflection, conversation, prayer, and case studies from field workers and church/mission leaders. Readers are equipped with the tools to navigate and overcome the barriers hindering effective mission work among UPGs and envision innovative approaches. Engage with this transformative guide and be part of a movement that redefines mission work, ensuring no people group is left behind.

Critic Reviews

People Vision harnesses the reflections of some of the best thinkers in missions today to sharpen our thinking as we press into the remaining task.

-Steve Richardson, President, Pioneers USA

Amazing! With the rise of young people prioritizing their lives to go where Christ is not known, the priority on Least Reached Peoples within this book and the Lausanne Movement comes at the right time!

-Rev. Dr. David L. Ro, Executive Director, Arise Asia 2023, Regional Director, Lausanne Movement, East Asia

Half a century since the inception of the unreached peoples movement, this compilation stands as an indispensable roadmap for the evolving landscape of global frontier missions.

-Todd Johnson, PhD, Professor of Mission and Global Christianity, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

When I received the manuscript of People Vision, I was stunned! This is a collection of the best thinking and observing and wrestling with the question of "what will it take" to see our Lord's mandate fulfilled exceedingly abundantly beyond all we ask or think.

-Rev. Greg Livingstone, PhD, Founder, Frontiers
