Dissertation note: Thesis Columbia Biblical Seminary and School of Missions 2011. Abstract: The Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) International Mission Board (IMB) has embraced a shifting paradigm in order to engage the remaining Unreached People Groups (UPGs) and the Unengaged Unreached People Groups (UUPGs) of the world. This paradigm shift began during the presidency of Jerry Rankin and has been accelerated under the leadership of the new president, Tom Elliff. Beginning in 2010, the annual report of the IMB included SBC engaged along with IMB engaged and Great Commission Christian (GCC) engaged people groups. This was a fundamental shift in recognizing that people groups could actually be engaged by individual churches, by local Baptist Associations, or by state conventions. Cluster Strategy Leaders (CSLs) on the field have the responsibility to determine if a people group in their particular cluster is engaged or not. The research that has been conducted demonstrates that it is indeed a paradigm that can work effectively.

The Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) International Mission Board (IMB) has embraced a shifting paradigm in order to engage the remaining Unreached People Groups (UPGs) and the Unengaged Unreached People Groups (UUPGs) of the world. This paradigm shift began during the presidency of Jerry Rankin and has been accelerated under the leadership of the new president, Tom Elliff. Beginning in 2010, the annual report of the IMB included SBC engaged along with IMB engaged and Great Commission Christian (GCC) engaged people groups. This was a fundamental shift in recognizing that people groups could actually be engaged by individual churches, by local Baptist Associations, or by state conventions. Cluster Strategy Leaders (CSLs) on the field have the responsibility to determine if a people group in their particular cluster is engaged or not. The research that has been conducted demonstrates that it is indeed a paradigm that can work effectively.
