SYNOPSIS--MISSIONS IN NORTH AMERICA

This study presents the thesis that, contrary to popular opinion, within North America are people groups beyond the sound of the gospel. Few raise questions about Mexico’s one hundred and eight million people being a mission field among whom some 100 mission boards are working. Perhaps more wonder about whether the 32.6 million souls living in Canada constitute a mission field. But, many wonder if the United States is really a bona fide mission field that will only be evangelized with the help of mission organizations. These pages provide a rationale for considering North Americans as a mission field by means of a history of missions in the fifty states, an analysis of a number of unchurched people groups, and the results of a survey of mission boards and denominations ministering to the peoples of Canada, US and Mexico.
