About Finishing the Task
Finishing the Task exists to convene and to catalyze the global body of Christ towards the goal of ensuring that everyone, everywhere has access to a Bible, Believer and Body of Christ.
This movement began in the year 2000 with the goal of synthesizing data towards tracking and engaging the unengaged, unreached people groups (UUPGs) of the world. Now, with the 2000th anniversary of the Great Commission – Jesus’s call to make disciples of all nations – in sight in AD 2033, Finishing the Task is rallying churches and organizations to collaborate in new ways and work together towards broader cooperative goals in Bible translation and engagement, evangelization and witness empowerment, and church planting.
