groups of the world with the fewest followers of Christ. Accurate, regularly updated ethnic people group information is critical for understanding and completing the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." Jesus directly links His return to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. While no one knows the date or time of His return, we do know that this Gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all the nations first. Revelation 5:9 and 7:9-10 show that there will be some from every tribe, tongue, nation and people before the Throne.</p> <p>Joshua Project seeks to answer the questions that result from the Great Commission's call to make disciples among every nation or people group:</p> <ul> <li>Who are the ethnic people groups of the world?</li> <li>Which people groups still need an initial church-planting movement in their midst?</li> <li>What ministry resources are available to help outreach among the least-reached?</li> </ul> <p>Joshua Project gathers, integrates and shares people group information to encourage pioneer church-planting movements among every ethnic group and to facilitate effective coordination of mission agency efforts. Joshua Project compiles the work of numerous missions researchers to develop a list of all ethnic peoples that is as complete as possible. Many errors, duplicates, and overlaps exist and the data is continually being updated. We welcome feedback of all kinds!</p> <p>From this overall ethnic people group list, a subset of unreached / least-reached peoples has been identified based on the criteria of less than 2% Evangelical and less than 5% Professing Christian. This subset helps focus attention on the unfinished task of the Great Commission. We desire that this list be used by mission agencies, denominations, churches and missionaries to accelerate the Gospel's advance into each of the least-reached people groups. Joshua Project has also developed a Progress Scale indicating a spectrum of reachedness rather than a simple on / off indicator.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#history">History and Track Record</a> </div> <div id="history" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>Joshua Project was originally birthed in 1995 within the former AD2000 and Beyond Movement. From 2001 through 2005 Joshua Project was at different times informally connected with Caleb Project, ICTA and World Help. In 2006 Joshua Project officially became a ministry of the <a href="http://www.uscwm.org" target="_blank">U.S. Center for World Mission</a> now known as <a href="http://www.frontierventures.org" target="_blank">Frontier Ventures</a>.</p> <p>The original Joshua Project list was a cooperative and globally used list of the largest unreached ethno-linguistic people groups and related ministry activity data. The Joshua Project list attempted to provide a clear goal of pioneer church-planting among the largest unreached peoples. Joshua Project has since expanded this list to all unreached / least-reached peoples regardless of size and moved from a purely ethno-linguistic to an ethnic people focus.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#distinctives">Distinctives and Uniqueness</a> </div> <div id="distinctives" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body bullets-normal"> <ul> <li>Strategic - We help mission strategists who ask, "Where is the greatest need?"

Field workers utilize the information for building prayer and vision for their ministries and discovering what ministry tools may be available. Local churches see value for missions mobilization, and for finding agencies with whom they can partner to see pioneer churches established among unreached / least-reached people groups.

Others say 16,000. Some suggest 13,000. Still others say 10,500. Which numbers are correct? Could they all be correct? The many different answers to this question often cause confusion.</p> <p>Different sources quote significantly different numbers. If we are commanded to make disciples of all people groups, just how many are there? But before trying to answer that, an example might help illustrate why the confusion exists. Suppose someone innocently asked, "What is the largest country?" What is the answer? It all depends on what is meant by "largest." The answer is Russia if largest refers to geographic land area. The answer is China if largest refers to population. The answer is the United States if largest means financially.</p> <p>All are different, yet are correct answers to the same simple question. The underlying issue is definitions ... what is meant by "largest?" So the core question is what is meant by the term "people group?"  For a full explanation, <a href="/resources/articles/how_many_people_groups_are_there">click here</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion1" href="#10_40_window">What is the 10/40 Window?</a> </div> <div id="10_40_window" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. The 10/40 Window is often called "The Resistant Belt" and includes the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. The original 10/40 Window included only countries with at least 50% of their land mass within 10 and 40 degrees north latitude. The revised 10/40 Window includes several additional countries, such as Indonesia, that are close to 10 or 40 degrees north latitude and have high concentrations of unreached peoples. Nearly five billion individuals reside in over 8,500 distinct people groups in the revised 10/40 Window.  To read more, <a href="/resources/articles/10_40_window">click here</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion1" href="#definition_of_unreached">What does "unreached" mean?</a> </div> <div id="definition_of_unreached" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>Joshua Project uses the terms "unreached" and "least-reached" to mean the same thing. The terms are used interchangeably on this website. An unreached or least-reached people is a people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize that people group.</p> <p>The original Joshua Project editorial committee selected the criteria less than 2% Evangelical Christian and less than 5% Professing Christians. While these percentage figures are somewhat arbitrary, "we should not underestimate the significance of the small group of people who have a vision of a just and gentle world. The quality of a whole culture may be changed when two percent of its people have a new vision." - Robert Bellah, Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, originally quoted in Psychology Today in the 1970s, currently quoted in <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2011/october/saltlight.html?start=5" target="_blank">Christianity Today Oct 2011: 42</a>.</p> <p>Source: 1982 Lausanne Committee Chicago meeting, AD2000 & Beyond and Joshua Project.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion1" href="#how_many_reached">How many people groups have been reached since ... ?</a> </div> <div id="how_many_reached" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>A common question is "How many people groups have been reached since 1974 [or in the last 20 years or since 2000 or some other date]?"</p> <p>That is a difficult question to answer for a number of reasons:</p> <div class="panel-body bullets-normal"> <ul> <li>Joshua Project only began tracking a comprehensive, global peoples list in 2001. There is no list to compare to prior to 2001.</li> <li>A reasonable baseline of people groups has only existed since the middle 2000's. The earliest data that might be compared to today is from about 2006. But even that is "apples to oranges" comparison because of the next bullet item.</li> <li>Numerous changes, deletes, adds, splits and merges over the years significantly cloud the unreached to reached picture. </li> </ul> </div> <p>For example, for many years there were two unreached Zhuang people groups speaking two different Zhuang languages in China on the Joshua Project list. When the 17th Edition of the Ethnologue came out, SIL had determined that there were actually sixteen very distinct Zhuang languages. Since Joshua Project list is basically ethno-linguistic outside South Asia, we create a new people group when a new language is identified. Therefore several years ago, Joshua Project split up the original two Zhuang unreached people groups into <a href="/clusters/322">sixteen Zhuang groups</a> based on the language speaker populations.</p> <p>Now instead of two unreached groups there were <a href="/clusters/322">sixteen</a>. Did fourteen groups suddenly become unreached? Did we move backwards? No, not really. We simply had a better picture of reality. The same number of individuals were involved, now just classified in sixteen unreached groups rather than two unreached groups. There are hundreds of cases like this which prevent a meaningful answer to “how many groups have been reached since ... ?”</p> <p>It is reasonable to say that hundreds of people groups have been reached in the last 20-25 years and that is cause for celebration. <a href="/unreached/1">Yet many more remain unreached!</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion1" href="#data_come_from">Where did the people group data come from?</a> </div> <div id="data_come_from" class="panel-collapse collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>Joshua Project staff are not primary researchers.
