Volunteer as a People Group Researcher
Understanding a people group's worldview, culture and values is a critical first step in reaching a people group. In-depth people group research is needed to gather information, stories and perceptions that illustrate what is important about a culture.
Lack of information on the people groups can be found in a variety of areas so the task of filling in those lacks is varied as well. It will take searches online, in print resources and with boots on the ground. As you might expect, the people groups that still have lacking information are increasingly difficult to research. You can be a crucial part of the team that is assembling the global people group picture.
