Learn MoreFour areas represent the epicenters of unreached peoples and emerging missions opportunities. Stay informed about developments, needs, and breakthroughs in these critical regions.
Frontier people groups represent the most challenging opportunities: communities where fewer than 1 in 1,000 families follow Christ. With 5,055 groups totaling 2 Billion people, these are the places where pioneer work isn't just needed, it's essential. Half of all frontier peoples live in just 39 groups. What if the breakthrough in one could spark movements in many?
Explore Frontier PeoplesOver 5,055 frontier people groups (nearly 2 Billion people) live with almost no access to the gospel. When your church, organization, or small group adopts a frontier people group, prayer becomes focused, giving becomes strategic, and engagement becomes real. Choose a people. Learn their story. Join what God is doing among them.
