Thank you for your commitment to discover an unreached people group in your respective communities. As you make a connection and begin a relationship with the person of peace of that respective unreached people group, please share you story on our 670 blog with others who also made the same commitment at 21-C.The beginning point for many Christian movements is the "person of peace." The "person of peace" is a person who will often be a gatekeeper into a new people network. When it is presented in their heart language and worldview, they will frequently be open to the Good News. Biblical examples of "persons of peace" include Andrew (John 1:35-46), Matthew (Matthew 9: 9-10), Cornelius (Acts 10), Lydia (Acts 16:13-15) and the jailer (Acts 16: 16-34).
A "person of peace" has been cultivated by God and is ready for your mission efforts. The receptivity of this person is high. At this point, it is more important to take the Good News to the person rather than extract this person out of his or her oikos (household or world). Remember to start the relationships where the person feels secure and comfortable.
