A Third of Us

Gateway to the Unreached host Jeff McLinden takes time to answer the question, "Who are the Unreached?"  For new listeners to this podcast, this could be a helpful introduction to the cause of the need to evangelize the 3 BILLION unreached people across the globe.  For "seasoned" listeners, Jeff brings some exciting updates about the Alliance for the Unreached.

Missiologist and author Dr. Marv Newell joins host Jeff McLinden to discuss Marv's new book -- a novel called Taking You Under My Skin:  A Novel about Love, War and the Unreached.  It's a unique approach to helping you understand the challenges of reaching an unreached people group, all in the context of the Vietnam War.  

Special guest Dr. Shane Houle discusses why and how the Scriptures are "a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  Shane is the founder and author of "Learn the Bible in a Year" and also is a supporting member of the Alliance for the Unreached.  

"Unknown Nations:  Greg Kelley is our guest for a lively discussion about 'unknown nations' — his term for those regions and people groups that have, as yet, been untouched by the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Greg is the CEO of Unknown Nations — and the former host of our 'Gateway to the Unreached' podcast."  

How is there a relevant connection between Christmas and unreached peoples?  Alliance for the Unreached executive director Jeff McLinden makes the case that Christmas is the most significant event that points to the plight of unreached peoples who have never been exposed to the gospel message. 

Our Moody broadcast special concludes with a look at the International Day for the Unreached.  Why is it always on Pentecost Sunday?  What is the objective?  How can everyone get involved?  Why should we pray?  Also, the power of collaboration within the Alliance for the Unreached.  Phil Stacey closes this special series with the powerful anthem, "Let the Silence Be Broken."

A missions pastor shares his perspective on the case for focusing on the Unreached and the role of the Church in fulfilling the Great Commission.  Ruth Kramer introduces the "theology of "and."  A Muslim prays for the Muslim world to find hope in Jesus.

Jeff McLinden, Ruth Kramer and Wayne Pederson discuss the origins of the Alliance for the Unreached and the International Day for the Unreached.  What is the Great Commission and why should we care? 

Former American Idol finalist Phil Stacey sings his anthem for the Unreached, "Let the Silence be Broken."  Wayne Pederson and Ruth Kramer explore how technology is playing a role in reaching unreached peoples across the globe.  Special guests Jon Fugler of TWR and Rob Myers of DOOR, Inc. share the unique ways new technologies are touching lives with God's love. 

Our special broadcast with Moody Radio continues as Ruth Kramer interviews John Pudaite, whose grandfather was a young warrior in a headhunting tribe in India.  Learn what happened when he had an encounter with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

The first in a series of six podcasts, a replay of our broadcast on Moody Radio May 11, 2024.   Join Wayne Pederson, Ruth Kramer, Jeff McLinden for an inside look at the plight of unreached peoples and the transforming power of the gospel.
