 Introduction Page i
INTRODUCTION & EXPLANATION

All Joshua Project people groups & “Least Reached” (LR) / “Unreached People Groups” (UPG)
downloaded in September, 2018 are included. Joshua Project considers LR & UPG as those
people groups who are less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian.

The statistical data for population, percent Christian (all who consider themselves Christian),
is Joshua Project computer generated as of September 2018. This prayer guide is good for
multiple years (2019, 2020, etc.) as there is little change (approx. 1.4% growth) each year.
** AFTER 2019 MULTIPLY POPULATION FIGURES BY 1.4 % ANNUAL GROWTH EACH YEAR.

The JP-LR column lists those people groups which Joshua Project lists as “Least Reached”
(LR), indicated by Y = Yes. White rows shows people groups JP lists as “Least Reached”
(LR) or UPG, while shaded rows are not considered LR people groups by Joshua Project.

Luke 10:2, Jesus told them, "The harvest

is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field."
Therefore, let's pray daily for
South Asia's people groups & LR-UPGs!

UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN SOUTH ASIA

Mission leaders with Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE) meeting in
Chicago in 1982 developed this official definition of a PEOPLE GROUP: “a significantly large
ethnic / sociological grouping of individuals who perceive themselves to have a common
affinity to one another [on the basis of ethnicity, language, tribe, caste, class, religion,
occupation, location, or a combination]. From the viewpoint of evangelization this is the
largest group within which the gospel can spread as a church planting movement without
encountering barriers of understanding or acceptance.”

These mission leaders defined UNREACHED PEOPLES as: “a group among which there is no
[or not enough] indigenous community of believing Christians able (with adequate numbers
and resources) to evangelize this people group (without outside [cross-cultural] assistance.)”
An unreached people group was later further defined by Joshua Project as a group which was
less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian. This definition is thus a
missiological, church planting definition which attempts to determine which people groups
most need cross-cultural mission workers to preach Christ and plant churches in that group.
On the basis of the above definitions and ethno-linguistic criteria, as of Sept. 2018 Joshua
Project lists a total of 17,016 people groups in the world, & a total of 7,082 “Least Reached”
or Unreached People Groups. Source: Joshua Project: www.joshuaproject.net = 09-22-2018

SOUTH ASIA SUMMARY:

On September 22, 2018 India had 2,289 “Least Reached” or UPG out of 2,554 total people
groups; India has more UPGs than any other country. The 6 countries of “South Asia” (India,
Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives) have 2,9946 LR-UPG out of 7,082 total world
LR/UPG = 42.27% of world LR-UPG! Thus we must PRAY & send pioneer church planters!

Why Should We Pray For Unreached People Groups?

* Missions & salvation of all people is God's plan, God's will, God's heart, God's dream, Gen. 3:15!
* In the Great Commissions Jesus commands us to reach all peoples in the world, Matt. 28:19-20!
* People without Jesus are eternally lost, & Jesus is the only One who can save them, John 14:6!
* We have been given "the ministry & message of reconciliation", in Christ, 2 Cor. 5:18-20!
* Jesus’ return is intimately tied to reaching all people groups, Matt. 24:14; Rev. 7:9!
* Jesus commanded us to pray to Him to send workers into the harvest, Luke 10:2!
* If we love Jesus, we will want to obey and please Him, John 14:15!

How Should We Pray for Unreached People Groups?

** Pray for great revival on the Church to cleanse, empower and send them out to the lost!
** Pray for great outpouring of God’s Spirit on the people group bringing conviction of sin!
** Pray for clear, biblical dreams and visions and revelations drawing people to Jesus!
** Pray for powerful, biblical signs and wonders of healing, deliverance and miracles!
** Pray that God will send more workers into His harvest in obedience to Luke 10:2!
** Pray for great people movements to Christ and Church Planting Movements!
** Pray that new converts will be biblically discipled and will grow in Jesus!

God answers prayer for UPGs! An example are the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India!

*** In the late 1960s the Cholanaikkans of Kerala, South India were discovered living in caves
and completely unreached. Local Kerala Christians began praying for them and sent church
planting teams to reach them. Within a few years the Cholanaikkans' lives improved, many
became believers in Jesus, and a church was built with half the Cholanaikkans attending, PTL!

1 Timothy 2:1-4, "I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,
intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people ---
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful
and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good,
and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved
and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
 Jesus said in Luke 10:2,
"The harvest is plentiful,
but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers
into his harvest field."
