Missions Prepare To Go
"Missions Speak"
Last week we
asked if you knew the meaning of the abbreviation or acronym -
"UPG"?
This is a brief answer to
a very complex, but vital subject.
UPG is the IMB acronym or
abbreviation for an Unreached People
Group.
To divide the world into People Groups is in of itself a very
complicated matter, but it is one way that you and I can understand the enormity
of our assignment.
An UPG is a Natural
social grouping (People Group) that does not have access to, and perhaps in some
instances have never even heard of the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ! The IMB designates them as a UPG
if less than 2% of the people of the group are Evangelized Christians. IF less than 2% are Christians, it is
improbable that the Gospel will be spread further without the intervention or
assistance of an Missions endeavor by others.
Eric King, (IMB Missions
Coordination Strategist), says in his recent Newsletters that 6,426 (UPG)
groups, 1.7 billion people, have not
heard of HIM.
Will you, and I, (who are
the Church at Myrtle Grove), answer the call and get involved?
Getting involved in God's
mission to win a lost world should be an ardent desire for all genuine
believers!
There
is a place for EACH OF US to serve. Let us help you to Prepare-To-Go! Keep
watching this spot each week.
Your Missions Committee
