Embrace
There are over 500 unreached and unengaged people groups (UUPGs) among European peoples worldwide. These are population groups that are less than 2% evangelical and have no one with a plan to tell them about Jesus. By the 2012 Southern Baptist Convention, our hope is that 500 churches will commit to embrace these UUPGs with their prayers, support and a conviction to reach them with the Gospel, no matter what the obstacles. The IMB’s commitment is to step along side the churches in attaining this goal.
What does it mean to Embrace a UUPG? What should you expect from an Embrace conference? What can I be doing before attending one of these events? Watch this word from IMB President Tom Elliff.
To provide opportunities to share, discuss and plan with churches interested in telling one of these groups about Christ, IMB is hosting several Embrace events over the next year.

Have you indicated your commitment?
If you have not previously indicated your church’s commitment to embrace or to explore the possibility of embracing an unengaged, unreached people group, please do that here. This is not the same as the celebration covenant (see expectations). This is only making a commitment to explore the possibility.
Still have questions?
Please don’t hesitate contacting us. We’ll help walk you through what it might mean for your church to embrace an unreached and unengaged people among Europeans.
