*As Ralph Winter aptly stated "The task of identifying and penetrating the remaining unreached peoples — the great challenge of "discipling all the nations" — still lies before us. But we are assured in Scripture that God will be worshipped by "a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language."*

The recently released Future of the Global Church has a section on the unevangelized. While the percentage of the world who are unevangelized has decreased, the absolute number of unevangelized has increased. The text on page 161 says *"The disturbing truth is that there may still be nearly 2 billion individuals who have never had a chance to hear the Gospel."*
The Atlas of Global Christianity based on the World Christian Database defines an "evangelized person" as "An individual who has had adequate opportunity or opportunities to hear the Gospel and respond to it, whether he responds positively or negatively". Using this definition the Atlas breaks the globe into World A, B, C where World A is considered the unevangelized. The Atlas suggests there are over 2,000,000,000 (2 billion) individuals in World A. Atlas p. 312-313
We are within range of penetrating every people group on the planet with the light of the gospel with more momentum than ever before in history. Be a part of it — find a place of historic significance in declaring "His glory among the nations!"

*"Be a part of it — find a place of historic significance in declaring "His glory among the nations!""* As these words echoes in my heart, I am moved to do more for His glory. Are you?
Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend,
We have a little more than 30 volunteers at the moment but we need at least about 50 more. We are #5,000.00 away from the N50,000.0 mark of our budget in our fund raising drive (and the total budget is almost 1.8Million naira). But we trust God to do it using some of you. ðŸ™ðŸ½

*We can't be lamenting islamization agenda and praying against the same, without also pushing our own world evangelization agenda. Jesus was first to commission Christians to pursue a world evangelization agenda. What are you doing about it?*

*For every dollar of Christian resources less than one penny is directed at reaching unreached peoples.*

_The Great Imbalance_
In the parable of the Lost Sheep the shepherd leaves the 99 and seeks out the one. He uses all his resources to find the lost. It seems the priority is backwards with the vast majority of Christian resources being used to tend the flock and few being used to seek the lost. Over 90% of all missionaries work among already reached peoples.
Summary from Respected Sources
Operation World presents data suggesting that after peaking in the mid-1990s the growth rate of both Christianity in general and Evangelicals (an approximation of true Christ-followers) has slowed significantly.
After describing numerous advances of the Gospel, Operation World states "The sobering fact is that, even with all this activity, probably 24-27% of the world’s population have not had the good news presented to them in a way they could appreciate and meaningfully respond to." (Operation World p. 10) That translates to very close to two billion individuals, one in four individuals, without any knowledge of the Savior!

Against this humbling backdrop, screaming "v-a-c-a-n-c-y: givers, goers and intercessors needed" would not be out of place.
Dearly Beloved Partner & Friend,
While we greatly appreciate all your loving support both secretly and openly, we have to keep calling for givers, goers and intercessors until we hit our target. We have about 30 volunteers at the moment but we need at least 50 more. We are yet to even hit the N50,000.0 mark of our budget in our fund raising drive (and the total budget is almost 1.8Million naira). But we trust God to do it using some of you. ðŸ™ðŸ½

*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

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.
