Reaching the Un-Reached

There are thousands of indigenous peoples throughout South America who  are either “un-reached” or have no viable access to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  To get the gospel message to them in the most effective way, the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has developed and implemented a church-planting strategy called REAP or Rapid Entry Advance Plan.

The objective of this strategy is to see indigenous, self-sufficient church-planting churches established among a particular micro-people group* (mpg) or population segment (popseg) by recruiting, training and mobilizing U.S. churches to be the “missionary”.

The ultimate goal of the REAP strategy is to see a church-planting movement born with indigenous churches…churches that look like the culture and that have the ability to continue seeing other church-planting churches established even when the U.S. mission effort ceases to be present.

The REAP strategy calls for commitment on the part of stateside believers.  That's where you come in!  There is so much work to be done and so few workers!!  

In Peru, REAP has two teams serving simultaneously to make a difference among the un-reached.  One serves in the northern half of the country (REAPNorth) and another which is serving in southern Peru as well as in Bolivia, and soon to be in northern Chile and northern Argentina (REAPSouth).
