Study Notes
Missions Overview
- There are 17,260 identified people groups globally according to the Joshua Project.
- 7,219 of these groups are categorized as unreached, meaning they have not been adequately exposed to the Gospel.
- 4,834 frontier people groups exist, which have no opportunity to hear about Jesus from their own communities.
- A people group is defined as a self-identified ethnolinguistic community with its own customs, name, family structure, and history.
- Reached people groups possess sufficient believers to fulfill the Great Commission.
- The largest 36 frontier unreached people groups comprise approximately 917,240,000 individuals, representing about 36% of the world’s population.
- There are 13,719 Baptist churches currently active.
- Around 41.8% of the world's population has not encountered the Gospel.
- There are a total of 7,396 languages spoken worldwide, with 20,482 existing in full biblical translation, while 985 languages still require translation work.
Faith-Filled Assumptions
- World missions operate under three key assumptions: the Great Commission will be fulfilled, there will be open doors for the Gospel, and there will be multiplication of believers.
Intercession
- God's heart is affected deeply by the lack of intercession.
- God's character is marked by mercy and deliverance.
- An intercessor empathizes entirely with both God and humanity.
- Moses’ primary duty was intercessory prayer, following a four-step progression: pledging God's promises, sacrificing his own life, seeking God’s presence, and invoking God's merciful nature.
- Christ's intercessory work is illustrated through three phases: identification at the manger, suffering at the cross, and authority at the throne.
Effective Prayer for the Lost
- Prayer serves the primary purpose of winning spiritual battles.
- The lost are described as being spiritually blind, as referenced in Ephesians 2:2 and 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.
- Strongholds are defined as mindsets opposing God’s Word and Will, with unbelief being the primary stronghold.
- Seven spiritual warfare weapons include: the blood of Christ, the name of Jesus, the Word of God, praise, fasting, love, and the act of resisting the devil.
Battlefield Historical Context
- The earth belongs to the Lord, but dominion was given to man.
- Through disobedience, dominion shifted to Satan, who is recognized as the prince of the earth.

Prayer Dynamics
- Heathen prayer is characterized by humans trying to sway an unwilling God, while victorious prayer is about aligning with and claiming God’s established will.
Symphony of Prayer
- Ignorance of God’s will is considered a weakness in prayer.
- The process of a symphony of prayer involves: burden, faith, and praise.
