11) The Backpage: If We All Just Pitched In A Little

I was thinking today about the quality job that the “Indonesian Peoples Network” (IPN) did with their book, Indonesian People Profiles: Unreached People Groups. It’s colorful, practical, informative, and comprehensive. Seemingly modeled somewhat after the Bethany Prayer Profiles that went around a few years ago, these people groups are, in a word, simply better. They’re organized into clusters with everything is indexed in the back. (Order the book by emailing

I think you’ll end up paying something  like $14.)

But my *main* point isn’t really to talk about Indonesia per se, even though it’s true that we (our organization) have a couple of projects in formation for that part of the world. Instead, my prayer is that we could clone Larry (the author of the above-mentioned book) and replicate this same process in little regions throughout the world. The truth is, if every little region just pitched in to describe the unreached peoples in that region, soon the whole world would be documented in this manner. That would be cool. :-)
