Least Reached Discipleship Fund
Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth.
WELCOME
Introducing our unique cause fund, dedicated to supporting missional projects that focus on discipleship among the least reached people groups. Our fund strategically invests in high-impact projects in these under-reached areas, overseen by a volunteer board that meticulously selects the most promising projects. Your donation goes directly to the cause with no cost to you as the donor. Join us in this mission to bring discipleship to the corners of the world where it’s needed most. Together, we can make a difference.
Unreached
Unreached people groups are those with less than 2% Evangelical Christians and less than 5% Christian Adherent. These groups, often residing in the 10/40 Window, represent a significant portion of the world’s population with minimal or no access to the Gospel. According to the Joshua Project, there are approximately 17,446 unique people groups globally, with around 7,391 considered unreached. This means over 3.2 billion individuals, or 40% of the global population, have yet to hear the message of Jesus Christ.
Unengaged and Unreached
The distinction between unreached people groups (UPGs) and unengaged unreached people groups (UUPGs) is crucial. UPGs have less than 2% Evangelical Christians and less than 5% Christian adherents. UUPGs, a subset of UPGs, have no known active church planting efforts. This lack of engagement underscores the need for targeted missionary efforts to ensure every group has access to the Gospel.
Maximizing Impact
Maximizing the impact of resources is crucial in both business and missions. Least Reached People Groups (LRPGs), including unreached and unengaged people groups, represent a vast mission field with minimal exposure to the Gospel. Investing in these groups can lead to significant spiritual breakthroughs, as they have had little to no previous engagement with Christianity. The potential for transformation is immense, akin to entering a market with untapped potential.
Discipleship
Investing in discipleship is crucial to prevent syncretism and backsliding in faith. While evangelism is important, it tends to receive more focus as it is easier to measure through one-time events. Particularly in the 10/40 Window countries where there is only one trained pastor for every 450,000 people, discipleship is underfunded.
