INTRODUCTION & EXPLANATION

All Joshua Project people groups & “Least Reached” (LR) / “Unreached People Groups” (UPG)

downloaded in October 2017 are included. Joshua Project considers LR & UPG as those

people groups who are less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian.

The statistical data for population, percent Christian (all who consider themselves Christian),

is Joshua Project computer generated as of October 2017. This prayer guide is good for

multiple years (2018, 2019, etc.) as there is little change (approx. 1.4% growth) each year.

** AFTER 2018 MULTIPLY POPULATION FIGURES BY 1.4 % ANNUAL GROWTH EACH YEAR.

The JP-LR column lists those people groups which Joshua Project lists as “Least Reached”

(LR), indicated by Y = Yes. White rows shows people groups JP lists as “Least Reached”

(LR) or UPG, while shaded rows are not considered LR people groups by Joshua Project.

For India ISO codes are used for some Indian states as follows:

AN = Andeman & Nicobar. JH = Jharkhand OD = Odisha

AP = Andhra Pradesh+Telangana JK = Jammu & Kashmir PB = Punjab

AR = Arunachal Pradesh KA = Karnataka RJ = Rajasthan

AS = Assam KL = Kerala SK = Sikkim

BR = Bihar ML = Meghalaya TN = Tamil Nadu

CT = Chhattisgarh MH = Maharashtra TR = Tripura

DL = Delhi MN = Manipur UT = Uttarakhand

HP = Himachal Pradesh MZ = Mizoram WB = West Bengal

HR = Haryana NL = Nagaland

UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN INDIA AND SOUTH ASIA

Mission leaders with Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE) meeting in

Chicago in 1982 developed this official definition of a PEOPLE GROUP: “a significantly large

ethnic / sociological grouping of individuals who perceive themselves to have a common

affinity to one another [on the basis of ethnicity, language, tribe, caste, class, religion,

occupation, location, or a combination]. From the viewpoint of evangelization this is the

largest group within which the gospel can spread as a church planting movement without

encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance.”

These mission leaders defined UNREACHED PEOPLES as: “a group among which there is no

[or not enough] indigenous community of believing Christians able (with adequate numbers

and resources) to evangelize this people group (without outside [cross-cultural] assistance.)”

An unreached people group was later further defined by Joshua Project as a group which was

less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian. This definition is thus a

missiological, church planting definition which attempts to determine which people groups

most need cross-cultural mission workers to preach Christ and plant churches in that group.

On the basis of the above definitions and ethno-linguistic criteria, as of October 2017Joshua

Project lists a total of 16,842 people groups in the world, & a total of 6,989 “Least Reached”

or Unreached People Groups in the world. Source: Joshua Project: www.joshuaproject.net

(see website for actual lists of LR/UPG)

India has 2,274 “Least Reached” or UPG out of 2,531 total people groups; India has more UPG

than any other country. The 6 countries of South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan,

Sri Lanka, Maldives) have 2,936 LR-UPG out of 6,989 total world LR/UPG = 42% of world LR-

UPG! We must PRAY & send pioneer church planters!

Why Should We Pray For Unreached People Groups?

* Missions & salvation of all people is God's plan, God's will, God's heart, God's dream, Gen. 3:15!

* In the Great Commissions Jesus commands us to reach all peoples in the world, Matt. 28:19-20!

* People without Jesus are eternally lost, & Jesus is the only One who can save them, John 14:6!

* We have been given "the ministry & message of reconciliation", in Christ, 2 Cor. 5:18-20!

* Jesus’ return is intimately tied to reaching all people groups, Matt. 24:14; Rev. 7:9!

* Jesus commanded us to pray to Him to send workers into the harvest, Luke 10:2!

* If we love Jesus, we will want to obey and please Him, John 14:15!

How Should We Pray for Unreached People Groups?

** Pray for great revival on the Church to cleanse, empower and send them out to the lost!

** Pray for great outpouring of God’s Spirit on the people group bringing conviction of sin!

** Pray for clear, biblical dreams and visions and revelations drawing people to Jesus!

** Pray for powerful, biblical signs and wonders of healing, deliverance and miracles!

** Pray that God will send more workers into His harvest in obedience to Luke 10:2!

** Pray for great people movements to Christ and Church Planting Movements!

** Pray that new converts will be biblically discipled and will grow in Jesus!

God answers prayer for UPGs! An example are the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India!

*** In the late 1960s the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India were discovered living in caves

and completely unreached. Local Kerala Christians began praying for them and sent church

planting teams to reach them. Within a few years the Cholanaikkans' lives improved, many

became believers in Jesus, and a church was built with half the Cholanaikkans attending, PTL!
