*The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.* --Psalms 68:11 (KJV) *And the gospel must first be published among all nations.* -- Mark 13:10 (KJV) The Khampa, Northern in China do not have any portion of the Bible in their language. To make, not just a convert, but a disciple of Jesus requires the Scriptures to be available in the mother tongue. Bible translation agencies report that approximately 1,800 languages have definite translation need. That means for mother-tongue speakers of those 1,800 languages no Scripture exists at all. They may have limited access to the Scriptures in trade or major languages, but no access in their heart language. Of course the languages with the larger number of speakers have been translated but many millions of individuals still do not have the Scriptures in their mother-tongue. Even if the Scriptures are translated and news media available, an estimated 1 billion adults are considered illiterate. *Much of this is concentrated in only eight countries (Bangladesh, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan) all countries with very high concentrations of unreached people groups.* Extremely low literacy rates are concentrated in three regions, the Arab states, South and West Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, again highly unreached regions. World Factbook. In addition 60% of the world’s population is considered oral learners meaning their preferred learning mode is oral, not written. Some estimates suggest that up to 70% of the unreached peoples of the world are oral-preferenced communicators. For those that are either illiterate or oral learners, newspapers, books, printed matter, internet text, even a physical Bible will have minimal impact. International Orality Network (Source: Joshuaproject) Think about the fact that these are hard facts the church must contend with as long as we believe the mandate Jesus gave to the church.

*When you read the Bible, and you see deliberate and meticulous mention of numbers, tribes, names, and measurements etc that you never can think of what use they may be to you, do you disregard them completely or still read them simply because it is written?* Hold that thought for a moment! In our previous update, we considered the *unreached people groups*, and noted some sobering facts about just the 50 largest unreached people groups. We continue today with more stats: Consider for example - 🙏🏽the 135,000,000 unreached Shaikh of Bangladesh, 🙏🏽the 59,000,000 unreached Brahman of India, 🙏🏽58,000,000 unreached Yadav of India or 🙏🏽the 37,000,000 unreached Java Pesisir Lor of Indonesia, most of the individuals in these groups and thousands of other unreached people groups are completely ignorant of the King of Kings. 😌 (Source: Joshuaproject) In subsequent updates, we will bring you more information. "But why?", You ask. Why would the Bible contain lists of names and places, tribes etc that we may never relate to and yet we know there is a reason behind them. How much more must we consider these details? We must bear in mind that these are people or souls that may or may not become saved or ever hear the Gospel at least, depending on our response to the challenge! Please pray for these souls and ask the Lord to help you to know what you can and must do. Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend, In a matter of weeks, the D-day for us to move out for #HTP2021 will catch up with us. Why not reach out to us as led? Help us to make this outreach a huge success.

*"We need another surge into the darkness! May God give us the necessary urgency and passion."* -- Dale Butler Missions suffers because of the little or no sense of urgency and passion. Another reason missions suffers is because of lack of knowledge! Last year, one of the missionary volunteers lamented that she didn't know that there are places even in Nigeria that is in dire need of the Gospel. The problem is, maintaining the sense of urgency and passion for the work. Like I promised, what are *people groups* or *unreached people groups* or even the *10/40window* ? We will take these in bits so you have just enough information to understand what we are referring to. *The definition used by mission strategist for people group is "a significantly large grouping of individuals who perceive themselves to have a common affinity for one another because of their shared language, religion, ethnicity, residence, occupation, class or caste, situation, etc., or combinations of these."* *For evangelistic purposes it is "the largest group within which the gospel can spread as a church planting movement without encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance." (Ralph Winter p. 536)* *Current data suggests there are about 17,400 distinct people groups when country boundaries are considered.* Think about it! 17,400 people groups that must be reached with the Gospel?! In our next update, we shall see how many of these people groups have not been reached with the Gospel. Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend, We need your prayers and financial support.
