Paul Tipped the Balance Toward the Frontiers

If we follow the apostle Paul, we’ll find his zeal and passion were exercised toward four groups.

Many mission agencies, including my own (CBInternational), want to send more missionaries to the frontiers. But relatively few American missionaries are doing evangelistic, church-planting work among the world’s 3.8 billion non-Christians, followers of non-Christian religions, living in non-Christian lands.

I don’t think any advocate of the priority of frontier missions (mission to the unreached peoples, to the least-evangelized, or to World A, which roughly corresponds to the 10-40 Window) would disagree with Michael Pocock that ministry to each of his four categories is valid Christian ministry.
