Unreached people group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Unreached people group" is a term used most frequently among Evangelical Christians to refer to any ethnic or linguistically distinct culture that does not have a history of Christianity. Missionaries and the organizations that support evangelism also use the term "the unreached" to refer to those who have not yet heard of any Christian teachings.
The Joshua Project web site defines the term this way:
A people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group.[1]
The 10/40 Window is sometimes cited as a geographic term for the widest area of the world where non-Christians live today.[2]
