1. “An unreached people group has too few believers to evangelize and disciple the rest of their people group. Almost three billion people fall into this category.”

2. “Over three thousand of the seven thousand unreached people groups are unengaged, unreached people groups...these people groups have no one actively engaged in reaching them.”
   
   ​Author David Platt said, “The only thing worse than being lost, is being lost and no one is looking for you.”
   
   Imagine you have been tasked by your church to create a four step strategy to bring the gospel to an unengaged, unreached people group. What are the steps? ​
