By RS, DCPI Master Trainer

WHAT IS PEOPLE GROUP? an ETHNOLINGUISTIC group with a common self-identity that is shared by the various members. The most dominant identifier of a people group is their language, but each unique people group also shares a common sense history and customs. In Matthew 24: 14 “ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come”. The word NATIONS is from the Greek word “ETHNE” means ethnic groups or people groups.

What is UUPG / UPG? UNENGAGED UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP (UUPG) has no known active church planting underway. "A people group is engaged when a church planting strategy, consistent with evangelical faith and practice, is under implementation. UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP (UPG) is a people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group without outside assistance.

THE LOCATION OF UPG IN THE WORLD

THE 10/40 WINDOW The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. The 10/40 Window is often called "The Resistant Belt" and includes the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. The original 10/40 Window included only countries with at least 50% of their land mass within 10 and 40 degrees north latitude. The revised 10/40 Window includes several additional countries that are close to 10 or 40 degrees north latitude and have high concentrations of unreached peoples.

The 10/40 Window has several important considerations: first, the historical and Biblical significance; second, the least evangelized countries; third, the unreached people groups and cities; fourth, the dominance of five religious blocs; fifth, the preponderance of the poor; sixth, the strongholds of Satan within the 10/40 Window.
