An Unreached People Group is:

• A people group is considered unreached when there is no indigenous community of Jesus followers able to engage them with the message of Jesus Christ.
• According to Joshua Project, there are 7,250 unreached people groups representing 3.4 billion people (over 42.5% of the world’s population!)
• Technically speaking, less than 2% of the population actively follows Jesus. Most missiologists consider 2% of the population becoming Christ followers as the “tipping point” at which the group can effectively spread the gospel throughout their community without outside assistance.
• Many unreached people groups are located in regions where speaking the name of Jesus is forbidden. Others lack the ability to access the Bible in their language. Others still wait for local believers to cross cultural divides. Simply put, unreached people groups have little or no access to the message of Jesus.
