Unreached people groups

This passed week I was looking up unreached people groups, since one of my best friends Ruth was telling me that their family used to pray each day for a different unreached people group and I thought that was a really good idea. So I found a website I really like, Joshua Project. Here are a few definitions they give:

People group: "For evangelization purposes, a people group is the largest group within which the Gospel can spread as a church planting movement without encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance."

Unreached people group: A people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group.

They list the Top 100 largest groups, but there are 6,818 out of the total of 16,295 ethnic groups on this planet. There are a total of 2,71 billion people who are part of an unreached people group. That's over 41% of the world's population. It's a huge number.

"5,100 people groups in the world have neither Scripture portions or Gospel radio available in their primary language, comprising 463,000,000 individuals."

If you would pray for one unreached people group every day, it would take 18 years and 2 months to pray for all the groups. You can take 6 groups a day and you would be done in about 3 years. It's totally doable!
