We're going OnMission to:
Multiply Indigenous of all Nations: Unreached People Groups
until Christ Returns
Where are they?
Unreached people groups around the world
7,341 Unreached People Groups UPG
A people group with no indigenous, self-sustaining community of believers able to reach their own — fewer than 2% are evangelical Christians.
Together, they number about 4.9 billion people.
4,754 Frontier People Groups FPG
An unreached group where fewer than 0.1% are Christians and there is no evidence of a self-sustaining gospel movement.
Together, they number about 2.8 billion people.
737 Frontier People Groups with 500K+ Population
Surprisingly, this harvestable list of 737 comprises 2.5 billion of the global population. Our goal is to cover them all in extraordinary prayer by their people-group names, using maps, prayer lists, and email. You and your church can be part of it.
How can we multiply disciples, churches, and leaders among all these people groups — and get the gospel into their own language?
There are a hundred ways we could help: over the internet, by using AI to translate the gospel (even reverse-engineering their language), by bringing internet where there is none, by mobilizing their reached neighbors who share their language and culture, or by going to them in person. But maybe we can simply rest in God and trust that with Him all things are possible — so we start with prayer.
A simple path to faithful obedience
Jesus' Strategy to Feed the 5000
Jesus’ disciples faced a similar challenge: “How can we feed so many with only five loaves and two fish?” Jesus fed the 5,000 by supernaturally multiplying that small offering — and His answer holds the key to our people-groups problem.
Through radical faith and miracle-expectant prayer, He focused on the few in front of Him — dividing the crowd and entrusting faithful men and women to serve the most strategic groups of fifties and hundreds (Mark 6:40).
In the same way, our 737 people groups are the most strategic “fifties and hundreds” among the 5,000 frontier people groups — and reaching them covers 2.5 billion of the 2.8 billion frontier people. Reach the 737, and no doubt it will multiply to reach the remaining 4,000. With God all things are possible: multiply the core, and you overflow into the surrounding peoples.

2.5 Billion737 People GroupsVision 2033
In partnership with the global church, our vision is for...
- 737 People Groups in the OnMission Prayer Campaign
- All Frontier People Groups with 500K+ Population Engaged by 2033
- Successful mobilization from the 5,038 reached People Groups to reach their unreached neighbors
- Fruitful engagement among frontier peoples and the under-engaged
- Church planting movements among every unreached people on earth
Engagement starts with prayer
Every movement of the gospel begins with intercession. Cover an unengaged people group in daily prayer and help prepare the way.
PrayWhat does "OnMission" mean?
OnMission is the Greek word for "GLORY".
We chose this name because Jesus is worthy of glory from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. OnMission reminds us that we partner with the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world – until people from every nation are worshipping Jesus and He alone receives all the glory.
