The last frontiers.

The least reached people groups.

Who will reach them?

"There is widespread awareness that the energy and capacity of the missions movement would be enhanced if we could bring more local churches into meaningful participation.  The vast majority of all resources God has entrusted to His people - He has placed in local churches."  - George Miley

The Task

     Today, 632 unengaged, unreached people groups with populations over 50,000, together numbering over 535,000,000 people, are still beyond the reach of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  They are spiritually lost and helpless like sheep having no Shepherd.  Among them Christ remains unknown, unacknowledged, and unadored.

     These 632 are perhaps the neediest of the needy.  they are unengaged, which means that no one church, no one mission agency... no one has yet taken responsibility to tell them of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  The 632 are at the very heart of the unfinished Great Commission task.  Can one church actually make a difference among the 632 unengaged, unreached peoples of the world?

     With the enabling of the One true living, all-powerful God, one church can make a difference.  Will you be one of the ones?

The Vision

     To see every people group in the world engaged with an indigenously led church planting movement. 

The Mission

    To form a global network of local churches, denominations, church planters, and mission agencies that are willing to work together in partnership to see church planting initiatives launched among the 632 Unengaged, Unreached People Groups (UUPGs) with populations over 50,000.
