Nomadic Peoples: Why They’re So Hard to Reach
Reasons nomadic peoples have been neglected by Christian missions, and suggestions to help change that.
Peoples on the Move
Missionaries today can focus their energies on all kinds of needy peoples or special ministries, such as tribal work, urban evangelism, street children, radio work, or Jewish and Muslim evangelism.
