A Riddle
A riddle: I drove through a village in the mountains of the state of Puebla. Everyone
in the village spoke Spanish fluently, but there is no church in that town. Are these people part of a reached ethnic group, or an unreached ethnic group?Answer: Reached, because they speak Spanish and therefore, in Mexico, they have access to the gospel.

A Dramatization of the Statistics
Let
us imagine
that each sheet of paper in this package is a profile
of an unreached ethnic group.How many ethnic
groups are represented by this package of paper?Slide26
How many times do I
have to
flip these pages
to see all 7,000 profiles?Slide27
14 times!Slide28
Your church does
not have
to reach all 7,000 ethnic
groups…But
it does have to help reach
… one!Slide29
Can your church
cooperate with 1,000
other churches to reach
one etnic group?
