It has 17,429 “People Groups”, including 7,417 “Unreached Groups” (42.6%), totaling 3.37 billion people (42.5% of the world's population) and is developing databases (freely downloadable) for use by mission agencies to accelerate the spread of the Gospel in these areas. It is paradoxical in that it puts irreproachable geomatics techniques at the service of an evangelization project whose roots are, to say the least, ancient. |
