Key:
People Group
A People Group is a large group of individuals who share common traits such as language, religion, ethnicity, or class. For evangelization, a people group is the largest community where the Gospel can spread without barriers of understanding or acceptance.
Unreached People Group
A people group with less than 2% Evangelical Christians and 5% Christian adherents and lacking the resources to evangelize their own people without outside assistance.
Unreached Frontier People Group
In Frontier People Groups, pioneer workers are generally limited to starting with non-believers. 60% of Unreached People Groups are still Frontier People Groups.
Christian Adherent
Christian Adherent is anyone who professes to be Christian and is based on the individual’s self-confession. It is the broadest possible classification of Christian and includes marginal groups.Â
Evangelical
Proclaimed Evangelicals are those People Groups who are believers and followers of Christ and are committed to Biblical preaching and evangelism that brings others to faith in Christ.

Reaching the Unreached
Jesus is the authentic shepherd...
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10, ESV
Reaching the unreached in India is an incredible task, and an incredible opportunity.
India is the most populated country and the largest unreached nation, according to the Joshua Project. Most people, having never heard of Christ, practice Hinduism, devoutly worshiping a god who cannot hear or answer prayers. They are in desperate need of the transformative power of Jesus, the only one who heals, saves, and who sets free. India is a key place to begin fulfilling the Great Commission, creating a lasting impact across the vast communities of India and for generations to come.
We are committed to equipping and strengthening the Church in India to know, love and worship God…because Jesus clearly commanded us too in the Gospel of Matthew.
