Unreached nations and web evangelism

A missed opportunity for the Great Commission

The potential of the Web for online outreach is increasingly acknowledged. But there is so much more that can be done, especially in non-English languages. The needs and opportunities of Japan are immense, for example. But many other countries are a challenge too. There is very little effective web evangelism in Russian or Ukraine. Yet the Web is a powerful tool to help us fulfill the Great Commission.

The Cybermissions list of 43 nations [http://aibi.gospelcom.net/missions/cybermissions_target_nations.htm] gives an overview of the needs of many unreached nations.

For a definition of ’unreached people group’ and a range of related concepts, see Joshua Project. [www.joshuaproject.net/definitions.php]

For the background, challenges and evangelism status of every nation in the world, read Operation World. [www.operationworld.org]

For free downloads including PowerPoints, on the state of world evangelism, unreached peoples, maps, etc, see Joshua Project downloads. [www.joshuaproject.net/download.php]

The Web can be a key to reaching many unreached people groups and nations. Web ministry can be integrated with team work on the ground. It also provides returned missionaries with opportunities to continue to minister to their chosen people group.

Mobile phones also have great potential in unreached nations.
