Welcome to the team!  As a Project:PeopleLink coach, you will have the opportunity to see God at work in the lives of individuals and congregations.  You will help them understand and respond to God’s invitation to join in taking the gospel to all the peoples of the world.  You will introduce them to men and women that God has called out to go to the uttermost parts of the world.  You will have the joy of watching churches and missionaries discover God’s boundless resources as they partner in penetrating the darkness, where the name of Jesus is not known.  Your job is linking God’s people in our churches with the people God has sent to the nations to reach the Unreached Peoples of our world.

Our Passion

God is calling men and women to take the gospel to Unreached People Groups (UPGs), often in places where traditional missionaries cannot go.  These men and women need the prayers and support of our churches.  But, because of the very nature of their assignments, most churches will never know their names.  They are taking the gospel to the “hidden peoples” of the world and, in essence, become “hidden missionaries.”  In fact, many of them aren’t missionaries in the traditional sense.  They are teachers, businessmen, students, relief workers, health care workers, farmers…ordinary people taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. 

Our Southern Baptist churches have an unprecedented opportunity to be actively engaged in world evangelization.  God is waking up our churches to their personal responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission.  God is creating a burden in their hearts for Unreached Peoples Groups around the world.  The International Mission Board has a new philosophy that encourages the active participation of churches in international mission strategies. 

Our Purpose

The International Mission Board is “leading Southern Baptists to be on mission with God to bring all the peoples of the world to saving faith in Jesus Christ.”  Project:PeopleLink helps local churches discover their unique place in world evangelization through adopting Unreached People Groups (UPGs) and becoming strategic partners with our missionary personnel.  Once we have guided, trained, and introduced a congregation to a strategic partner on the field our work is done.  It is all about churches and missionaries linking together to reach unreached peoples.
