I asked Greg Parsons to not hold back in sharing his frustrations, and this is what he had to say.
30:10
Oh, boy.
30:11
[sighs] Yeah, I have those thoughts from time to time, but I don't usually voice them, [laughs] so I'm not quite sure exactly where to go.
30:22
You've, you've maybe stumped me a little.
30:24
I, I, you know, I do think that it's way too easy for us as believers and as a church To just ignore the third of a world's population that has little or no access.
30:45
I mean, there are these frontier people groups, uh, hundreds of groups, millions and millions and millions of people, some of them millions within each group, who have basically less than .1%, .01% Christian of any kind, any kind of Christian.
31:09
And Christian is very broadly defined always.
35:54
Christian historian Brian Stanley holds similar concerns.
31:45
We started with a bit of his background.
31:49
Actually, when I was early in high school, we switched to a church that really taught the Bible and had a strong commitment to missions.
31:57
And we didn't know that.
31:58
I mean, we knew the Bible.
31:59
We knew it was a good church.
32:01
We moved from another church.
32:02
It was fine.
34:52
Could you help maybe clarify, is there another definition? And maybe you've kind of already hinted at this for unreached people groups, because it sounds like there could still be Christians amongst the people group, and they maybe might still be considered unreached people.
