	FEBC - Unreached People Groups
		An Unreached People Group is an identifiable group of people distinguished by a distinct culture, language, or social class who lack a community of Christians able to evangelize them without outside help.
		Two examples of “gateway” people are the Khmu of Laos, who are successfully evangelizing neighboring Laotian minorities, and the Chin, a minority group living in Burma, who are reaching out to the Shan, also of Burma.
		People from these groups grapple with persecution and discrimination most of their lives, but when they hear a radio message spoken in their own language, it validates them.
