Due at the end of Module/Week 8, this project will be a 15–20
page paper devoted to reaching an unreached people group—a cultural group that
is less than 2% evangelical. For example, see the Tunisian
Arabs at:
The purpose of this assignment is to consider the people
group’s history and cultural background, to assess the history of mission work
among them, and to analyze current mission strategies at work among them, and
to develop a plan for reaching them with the Gospel.
The write-up should include:
·
Background
information (5–7 pages)on the people group (history, language, culture,
economy, religion, family). Also, include a nice map detailing where they live.
·
A survey
of missions work (5–7 pages)to this people (history of missions among them,
the current status of the church, how many known believers, challenges, present
strategies; if possible, contact a missionary presently working with this
group).
·
Proposed
strategy (5–7 pages). From the perspective of (1) a missionary going to
them or (2) a missions organization beginning work among them or (3) a sending
church sending laborers to work among them, propose a strategy. While biblical
principles ought to be in place, the specific strategy should take into account
the background information on the people group and the survey of past and
present missions work among the people. Finally, your project should take into
consideration the articles in Winter and Hawthorne, Perspectives, chs. 84–136.
The paper should conform to current Turabian (see attached
guide in Blackboard) and include a title page, table of contents, section
headings, footnotes, and a bibliography. See the project rubric for more
specific grading criteria. As your paper should include 6 scholarly sources,
some good places to start include:
World Factbook https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
Country Studies http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cshome.html
