XXX 1,294 Ethnolinguistic Unengaged* Unreached People Groups (sorted by Country) I. What is this list? The list on the pages that follow is made up of those ethnolinguistic people groups where there are *no KNOWN full-time workers reported at the time of this printing. All research information is changing rapidly. We recognize that there may be groups that have not been included in this list. We have not included "Christian Adherents" groups though some of these groups may need to be re-evangelized. Groups from cultural and nominal Christian backgrounds are included on the CPPI index found at www.peoplegroups.org. Additional data, profiles, and resources are also available at www.joshuaproject.net. II. This list focuses on ethnolinguistic UNENGAGED, Unreached People Groups. We acknowledge that there are many unreached people groups that still need many more workers for the harvest. The purpose of this list is to focus on those groups which have no KNOWN workers engaging in full-time evangelism and church planting. III. We value your updated information. If you know of any information that needs to be updated on this list, please e-mail us at [email protected]. We are tracking the number of known believers, the number of churches, the number of full-time workers, and other related information. IV. Where did this information come from? The list of groups is a subset of information provided by the International Mission Board, Joshua Project, and the Center the Study of Global Christianity. The number of workers, churches planted, and estimated believers we reflect in our information come from over 1,500 churches and organizations involved in the Finishing The Task (FTT) network. The FTT network is based on the Matthew 24:14 passage that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all "nations" and the Matthew 28 command of our Lord to, “make disciples of all nations.” FTT believes the first step to being obedient to that command is to encourage full-time workers to go to every group. Progress on previously Unengaged People Groups as of January 2016 Many mission organizations and churches have prioritized the sending of workers to previously Unengaged People Groups. The Finishing The Task Network reports the following since November, 2005. 2,058 Groups engaged 23,254 Full-time vocational workers sent by 348 engaging ministries 68,085 Bi-vocational and part-time workers 100,811 Churches planted 2,619,604 Reported believers Many more workers are needed for these groups, but we praise God for His blessings thus far.
