The Joshua Project estimates that over 90% of all missionaries work among already reached peoples and for every dollar of Christian resources, less than one penny is directed at reaching unreached peoples. While we recognize the need for continued, vital Christian ministry and multiplication among people groups where an evangelizing local church has already been planted, we also are compelled by the urgent need for a culturally appropriate, faithful gospel witness among people groups where Christ has not yet even been named. Recognizing that the number of workers among these “unreached” people groups is dramatically disproportionate to their numbers, there is a need for strategic focus to accomplish the task.
As a result, with respect to missions focus, CBCGB prioritizes:
The cultural distance of the recipients from the gospel (i.e., the evangelization of unreached people groups);
Pioneer evangelism and church planting.
據《約書亞計畫》(Joshua Project)估計,超過90%的宣教士服事的對象已經是福音可及的群體,而每一美元的基督教資源中,用於未得之民的比例不到一分之一。
雖然我們承認,在已有福音教會建立的群體中,持續並有活力的基督教事工與繁衍仍然是必要的,但我們同樣被迫面對急迫的需要——在那些基督尚未被認識的族群中,進行符合文化、忠於福音的信息見證。
考量到在這些「未得之民」中的工人數量與他們的人口比例極度不均衡,我們必須採取策略性的聚焦以完成這項使命。
因此,就宣教重點而言,CBCGB 的優先方向為:
受眾與福音的文化距離(即向未得之民傳福音);
開拓性的福音事工與植堂工作。
