Title: Reaching the unreached
Description: No study that deals with people and statistics can be of permanent nature. People change and statistics change. The world is in motion. People are restless and migrate every day. The only permanent thing is change. The recent exodus of Indian peoples from Africa demonstrates changes that are reflected in the people themselves as well as in the countries that receive them. Movements from rural to urban living are creating traumatic changes in almost every country. It is expected that humanity will shift and merge into new groupings. The value of the present study will be in the application made, and its degree of effectiveness in the evangelization of the unreached peoples. The emphasis therefore is on the general principle enunciated of presenting a methodology for discovering the unreached, identifying their peculiar characteristics, and evangelizing them by units. The evangelist is encouraged to seek out the distinct units of unreached peoples, discover the felt needs of the unit, to determine the best channels of communication to that unit, and to apply the message of the Gospel to the heart of the people in the language they can best understand. Thus, while it is not imagined that this study will be final, it is hoped that it will stimulate further research and investigation, and that from it will emerge patterns which will not be merely theoretical, but practical and useful for the evangelization of the unreached millions of the world. - Back cover.
