A Great Idea for Missions for Ura Church
Sunday, November 16th, 2008Did you know that there are 6,456 known unreached people groups in our world? These are entire people groups who have no Christian witness.
Did you know that our International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention will help your church “adopt” a people group and play a key role in helping bring that group to Christ? (See “adopt a people group” at www.imb.org).
Well, I’ve just finished another seminary assignment, and it was on this topic. We were assigned to pick one of those thousands of ”people groups” and write a research paper about a plan to reach them. I selected a tribe called the Ura in Nigeria. Of course, I’m no expert on them. I’ve never even been to the continent of Africa. But I think you’ll find it really interesting.
I’m attaching the paper below for you to ponder. Just ignore all the footnotes, etc. You may just find a great idea that will fit your church! (If you’re in Indiana, you can call Steve Blanchard at the State Convention Office to help get you started–317-481-2400). Here’s the paper:
