Only 400 People Groups to Go? – Missiologically Thinking
J.D. Payne
Click here to listen: http://www.jdpayne.org/2016/05/01/only-400-people-groups-to-go/
“The gospel is to be taken to everyone, including reached people groups. However, biblical missiology involves a stewardship of Spirit-guided strategy. We labor as wise Kingdom citizens knowing that all peoples will be represented around the throne. And if we can know that certain peoples (as best we can tell) have never had a known believer among them, then they should be on the Church’s highest priority list. We need to start asking, “Among the peoples of the world, who has never had a known believer?” Wise Kingdom citizens know the Word, know the times, and know God’s work across history.” -J.D. Payne
We continue in the format of Kingdom focused, God centered and Spirit driven prayer. We are asking for a greater capacity for intercessors and pray-ers to pray as the Lord and the Holy Spirit are leading you.
Again we are linking to ION partner group PrayerCast.org -as you pray you might want to click here to use the Sudan PrayerCast video during your prayer time.
As we pray this month for these 23 People Groups who have NO SCRIPTURE, let’s link into these prayer points together:
- Pray for definitive peace and stability between tribal groups and military commanders who continue to vie for power.
- Pray for government leaders to rule with integrity and justice.
- Pray for the church to grow spiritually strong despite intense suffering and persecution.
- Pray that Sudanese believers would remain faithful to Christ in persecution and join together as a unified body of believers.
- Pray for each of these people groups to have an Oral Scripture Project on the planning table.
The information in the table we use each month comes from our ION partner group Finishing the Task (FTT) http://www.finishingthetask.com/uupgs.php?sort=Country.
Praying specifically for Oral and Oral Bibleless People
The remaining Unreached Unengaged People Groups (UUPG) are for the most part oral societies. We need to shift our understanding to include prayer for the Oral and Oral Bibleless peoples as well. Realizing that large portions of the globe still do not have access to Scripture, we need to learn to pray for those who communicate in oral ways or prefer oral methods. Let’s ask God to teach us to understand the needs of oral communicators, recognizing that they need to hear the gospel story in a different way or format in order to properly understand its message. Let’s pray for God to use technology to bring His story to the masses of this day so that soon there are ZERO peoples left to hear the name of Jesus. Let’s pray for new gateways and new pathways for the gospel to every tongue, tribe and nation.
How does that happen within the Orality Network
Connecting with ION Partner – CRU Prayer
As a part of the movement of missions to complete the Great Commission, we partner with others. We would love for you to partner as well with our friends at CRU for #Pray2020.
1. Start with a simple daily prayer – Pause for a moment to pray something as simple as this: Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Matthew 9:37-38). Sign up: http://pray2020.org/
2. Invite others to #Pray2020 – There are a number of ways that you can encourage people to be a part:
- Invite people personally to pray
- Refer people to pray2020.org
- Print a PDF version of a flyer
- Use a Twitter hashtag (#Pray2020) to let others across the Body of Christ know you are involved: Tweet simply: “I’m in!”
3. Share what you’re seeing God do – Use the same hashtag (#Pray2020) to share specifics of your 2020 prayers, or to link to stories of how you, your ministry teams, or others are seeing God’s Spirit move toward the fulfillment of His Great Commission.
