Great Commission Pastors Movement
The Christian Post:
"The presidents of some of the world's foremost missions organizations are inviting the most influential pastors of mission-focused churches in the United States to a conference to talk about reaching the last 639 unreached people groups.
The 'Finishing the Task' conference, which began yesterday and ends Thursday, is being held in the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, N.C. The conference is about getting churches to send a team to each of the groups that do not have anyone communicating the Gospel to them.
'The possibility of reaching the last unreached people group in the world and fulfilling Matt. 24:14 is in our grasp for the first time,' organizers of the conference state the conference web site.
The inspiration to mobilize local congregations to help fulfill the Great Commission came out of Amsterdam 2000 %u2013 the event hosted by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association more than five years ago.
During the 2000 event, an ad hoc group of mission agency leaders seated at Table 71 committed to fulfilling the Great Commission and has since then synergized their efforts. In partnering together, the seven sponsoring ministries %u2013 which include Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCCi), Youth With A Mission, Wycliffe International, International Mission Board, Transformed Spokane, Walk Thru The Bible, and Dawn Ministries %u2013 have witnessed their respective specialties become each others' strengths.
'Over the years we all have learned that we can do more together than alone,' stated Campus Crusade for Christ President Steve Douglass in an invitation to prospective pastors for the conference.
Resources and information for interested pastors are vast. During the conference, pastors will learn how to reach the 70 percent of the world that are oral learners and get the Gospel to the 3,000 Bibleless groups at a faster rate..."

Out of that table 71 partnership emerged Epic Partnership. The partnership is with CCCI, YWAM, Ycliffe, Southern Baptist IMB, TWR. I encourage anyone interested in reaching the lost oral peoples of the world to check out Epic.

I am also blogging on orality. I have a bunch of links on my blog of resources for learning about oral learners and how we can reach the vast numbers of unreached peoples who comprise much of the last frontier in the task of the Great Commission.
