13) The BackPage: Whatever Happened to Unreached Cities? –

May 22nd, 2011 · 1 Comment

I’ve asked before …   http://www.brigada.org/2011/04/15_6929   but the request didn’t yield a single website or list of any kind. How is it that we invested such great energy in 1996 praying for “100 Gateway Cities of the 10/40 Window,” yet today, it seems no one can direct me to *any* material following up on [...]

3) Case Study: How does the IMB Correct People Group Data –

January 30th, 2011 · No Comments

Here’s a case study in how one (very large) mission organization handles unreached people group data and the correcting thereof. The IMB monitors and manages feedback with a goal of listening particularly to field practitioners — those who live and minister on the local level.  Jim, the lead researcher, wrote to Brigada this past week, [...]

3) Don’t forget about “The Waiting World (Vol. 4)”

January 23rd, 2011 · No Comments

I’m telling you, I can’t imagine anywhere else in the world would give you six 7-9 minute videos showcasing the 10/40 Window, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Animism/Tribalism, plus a bonus music video (“We Speak to Nations”). Last we heard, they were giving readers of Brigada Today a $2 discount. It’s at least worth asking for. Suppose [...]

January 16th, 2011 · 8 Comments

I was able to get through to Greg, a representative from New Tribes’ Mobilization department. I asked him, in view of “List-mania,” where did New Tribes get their total of “2500 unreached peoples.” http://www.ntm.org/missiontrips/wayumi His response? ” We get our figures from our department in NTM that handles such things. They suggest we use the [...]

Whoo-hoooo! I no longer have to use those dated Urbana videos (and precede them with an apology that I have nothing new to show!). Enter “The Waiting World, Special Edition.” The producers of the prayer video series, “The Waiting Word” have just completed a new edition, and are making it available to readers of Brigada [...]

13) The BackPage: How do we Fix UPG List-Mania? [edited 13 of Nov.] –

November 7th, 2010 · 6 Comments

How is it that, after all these years, we still have multiple lists of unreached peoples? I continue to maintain that we should be asking, “Can’t we all just get along?” My friend, Justin Long, recently wrote an article at his site, “The Devil is in the Details.” http://www.justinlong.org/2010/11/the-devil-is-in-the-definitions-or-the-controversies-around-unengaged-at-capetown2010/ I responded to him, “Thanks for [...]

3) Make a Difference with Injustice and Neglect —

September 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Now you can help overcome spiritual injustice and reach neglected rural Japan, starting with prayer. 127 million Japanese form the second largest UPG in the world with 1 in 100 Christian. 15 million of them are in Japan’s 1800 unchurched rural areas (URAs) where only about 1 in 1000 are Christian. Though over 1000 missionaries [...]

6) UPG Thinking – Mobilization or Missions? —

August 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment

It has been interesting to note recent Brigada dialogue regarding Unreached People Group focus. Barb recently wrote to remind us of two articles that may be of interest. One article written in 2007 by Dr. Kent Parks, is still relevant in answering misconceptions about people-group thinking. Even the statistics seemed to have changed little in [...]
