UUPG (Unreached and Unengaged People Groups)
As followers of Jesus Christ, we – the Church – are called to be the body of Christ. We are His heart, His hands and His voice in the midst of a world filled with un-reached people. An unreached people group is a group where less than 2 percent of the population is evangelical Christian.
If they are engaged, someone (IMB, Great Commission Christian partner, indigenous church, SBC church) is currently working among them with an intentional church-planting strategy.
If they are unengaged, we know of no church -planting strategy taking place among the group. Most likely, they have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You can make a difference.
• 11,659 people groups worldwide
• 6,744 unreached people groups
• 3,800 unengaged, unreached people groups (UUPG)
• 1.7 Billion People in the world have little to no access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ

If you live in one of the Unengaged, Unreached People Groups…you will be born, you will live, and you will die without every hearing the Gospel. You will never hear the simple song, “Jesus Loves Me.” You will never hear the story of Jesus healing a blind man. You will never hear that the Heavenly Father sent His only Son for you. You will never hear…

How can I make a Difference?
• Pray for the unengaged/unreached of the world and how we at Blackshear Place Baptist Church can make a difference.
• Join us on the journey as seek to embrace an Unengaged/Unreached People Group locally and globally.
• Give to the 2012 Compelled Vision…We are COMPELLED to go global with the Gospel!

Going Further through local, national, and international mission opportunities is about fulfilling the Great Commission. This year, more than a hundred members have taken the gospel to six of the seven world continents. We have witnessed many making decisions for Christ, and more is still to come. What will your part be in taking the message of Jesus to the ends of the earth? All of us can join together to pray for the upcoming mission adventures. Many of us can give to support missions by helping a mission team member raise financial support or by regular giving to the 316 Missions Offering. (You can give online or through the weekly offering). Some can commit to go on one of the 2012 trips. Whether you are praying, giving, or going, let’s all do whatever it takes to get the gospel to the millions of those hopeless and lost.
