Away with UUPGs!

PDF Version: AWA_Update_180505

Any ethnic or ethnolinguistic nation without enough Christians to evangelize the rest of that group is an unreached people group (UPG). If no group of disciples of Jesus-Christ has committed to sharing the hope of Christ with that group, they are considered an unengaged UPG (UUPG). By evaluating the UUPG list and the multidimensional poverty index, we understand that 95% of these UUPG, some 1.3 billion souls of today’s world, live in villages about the world. A strategy that brings the saving message of Christ to the poor can change this situation.

Terry Dalrymple, leader of the Global CHE Network service team, reported to attending members Friday that The Community Heath Evangelism (CHE) Movement now spontaneously multiplies ministries from village to village, and country to country, while making disciples and lifting communities out of cycles of poverty and disease. Tens of thousands of villages are estimated to be reaching millions of households, but the networks’ reporting can no longer account for all that is happening. (Here’s what was from the portion of 992 members who reported this year : 623 organizations – 129 countries – 3,519 communities – 3,942 trainers – 21,575 volunteers – 113,612 Households engaged – 763 Churches planted.) As a network of voluntarily collaborating missions and missionaries, the visionary belief cast for all was that our joint effort is uniquely placed of God to mobilize the Church to engage the last of the UUPG. So it is.

What will we do with this knowledge added to our own? Personally, we plan to take the advice of one main session speaker and keep doing as led: Ask God what to do, obey, and challenge others to do the same. We give thanks to each and all helping us to see His will done, that all be saved (1Ti.2.4). Ivorian team objectives for November’s Million Village Challenge, September’s University training, and intern plans were achieved thanks to the Holy Spirit’s person-to-person contact made possible by the meeting that your prayerful support enabled.

Prayer & Praise:
  • Ask God what to do to show love to your neighbor.
  • Pray for worldwide believers engaged to share the Gospel with UPGs and UUPGs (links to lists), including our teams in Cote d’Ivoire. Ask that our vision be clear and our obedience unwavering.
  • Thank the Lord that Debbie made progress on the medical end. Her scan is done and the surgery scheduled for June 14 at St. Thomas Midtown in Nashville.
Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie
