7/25/24 Note: Found two typos in this edition — one just a repeated the word, but the other more substantial: in item #3, yes, we know William Carey published his “Enquiry” in 1792, not 1892. Sorry! Fixed both on the website but won’t resend the email. If you see mistakes like that, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

If you take issue with the claim that the gospel has taken root in people groups that include 75% of the world’s population (in item #3), read the rest of the article and take it up with the authors. They assert that more than half of the unreached are in “Frontier People Groups,” no more than .1% Christian and with no known and sustained disciple-making movements. That’s a stricter definition than the “less than 5% Christian, less than 2% evangelical” standard used to measure UPGs, which is what me see more often. That’s how the source can say the segment constitutes 25% of the world population instead of 42.5%.
