TIL Do No Business With
Today I learned there are five countries which many (even most?) other countries will not do business with:
- Russia
- Afghanistan
- Venezuela
- North Korea
- Cuba
I “kind of” knew this before, but it came home to me: banks, insurance, money transfer, travel–all are hard if you are going to, working in, or sending people from these countries.
One of the less-thought-of challenges of working with unreached peoples is the difficulty of simply traveling to them, transferring money to people who live or work among them, or sending new missionaries from less-reached places.
Roundup
What happened to the unreached this week?
Each Friday I send a newsletter to over 2,400 mission activists, advocates, managers, field workers, and pastors - about what happened among the unreached, and what could happen next. Each issue comes with a curated list of nearly 100 links, and note why each is important. You can get on the list for free.
