Definitions

People Group

An assembly of people who have a common language, religion, culture and ethnic background.

As related to church planting, a people group is the largest group within which the gospel can be spread as a church planting movement without encountering cultural barriers of acceptance or understanding.

Unreached

Technical: less than 2% of the population is evangelical Christian without sufficient resources to begin or sustain a church-planting movement

Practical: No Bible. No church. No missionary. NO ACCESS to the Gospel.

Unengaged

Technical: There is no church-planting strategy underway consistent with the evangelical faith and practice.

Practical: No Bible. No church. No missionary. No ACCESS to the gospel. NO ONE IS COMING.
