What is an Unreached People Group?

An unreached people group (UPG) is a group of people with a common language and culture distinct from those around them. The closest Biblical term is “Ethnos” which is most often translated “gentile” or “nation." UPGs account for up to 1/3 of the world's population.

Methodology

Ethnos360 is unique in that the organization focuses on the following things:

Unreached People Groups (UPGs)

UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS (UPGs)

In approximately 1/3 world’s people groups, there is no church, nor is there any work being done to establish a church. These are the people among whom Ethnos360 works.

Tribal Culture & Language

TRIBAL CULTURE & LANGUAGE

These tribes’ cultures and languages have isolated them from the Gospel. Missionaries must learn their heart language and understand their culture in order to clearly present the Gospel and effectively plant a church.

Foundational Bible Teaching

Foundational Bible Teaching

UPGs have no concept of the God of the Bible. Bible teaching begins at the same place God began with His chosen people: at the beginning in Genesis

1. Chronological Bible teaching presents a foundation for understanding Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Mature Churches

Mature Churches

Following the pattern seen in Acts as God’s people carried out the Great Commission, missionaries seek to establish mature churches that can take their rightful place as agents of change in their own communities and partners in the Great Commission.
