Your church has entered into a relationship with another people
group. Like all relationships, it can grow in many different
directions. So be ready for an adventure and be creative. Prayer
and learning about your group are key though.
Research - Learn about your group. Valuable resources
on how to reach out to an unreached people group, and specific
people group profiles, can be found on the World Wide Web at:
What are the needs of your group? - As you discover
the needs of your people group, ask how your church can best
help. Remember, the overall goal is to see that a church is
planted and growing, but there are many other important steps
along the way.
Scout Out the Land - At some point, you may wish as
a congregation to send someone (or a team) to visit the people
group. This will call for cultural sensitivity and wisdom. You
will want to contact the International Evangelism Office as
you plan (888) 728-7228 x5262. The returning team can report
back its observations about how your chosen group might be led
to be responsive to Christ.
Be part of a network- The Office of International Evangelism
is working with Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship to form networks
of congregations that are interested in the same people group.
