How much progress is the "Church" making in reaching "Unreached People Groups"?

The  "Least reached " or"unreached"  people of the world:

Embedded image permalink

To give you a glimpse of how the church is doing in the role of sending, check out these numbers on the income and spending of the Church worldwide.
  • Global Income of Christians in US Dollars: $42 Trillion
  • Given to Christian Causes (2% of total income) $700 Billion
  • Given to Foreign Missions (only 6% of the 2% giving to Christian causes) $45 bill.
  • Of all the Money Given to Foreign Missions:
    • 87% goes for work among those already Christian.
    • 12% goes for work among already evangelized non-Christians.
    • 1% goes for work among people groups in the Unevangelized or Unreached category ($450 Million)

If this is the first time you have come to this BLOG, you might want to take a quick look at my latest TWEETS...showing what Christian mission groups are doing around the world.

That means that for every dollar earned by a Christian 1/100,000th goes to the unreached. 
Do you think that the Lord’s resources are being used strategically?
 If 88% of the World’s unreached peoples live in the 10/40 Window and so little money goes to the work there, what will it take to complete the Great Commission?

What is Perspectives & why would I want to attend?

 Perspectives is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives" — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose.

The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God's relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.
The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very "do-able" task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

Why Perspectives?

God has a "world-sized" role for every Christian in His global purpose.Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose. Discovering that vision makes this course valuable, and perhaps crucial, for any Christian.
