Why missions exist

Alex Chediak interviews David Sitton, a missions leader in the field of unreached people groups. Read the whole interview here, but meditate on this statistic:

Unevangelized people are unconverted individuals in places where there are established churches. Unreached peoples are those that live in regions where there are [...]
