Joshua Project is an unreached peoples research initiative that seeks to bring increased definition to completing the Great Commission by highlighting ethnic people groups that have the least Christian presence, in order to catalyze pioneering church planting movements among them. It develops and updates a comprehensive list of over 16,500 people groups, with a focus on the nearly 6,900 groups that have less than 2% Christians. The goal is to stimulate church planting until there are worshippers from every people group before God's throne.
