UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS

•    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:
