There is at least 1 version of the Bible available in about 2,350 of the 8,138 identified languages on Earth.

Of the 10,333 identified people groups on Earth, 4,520 are without an indigenous Christian community strong enough to evangelize the people group without external aid.

About 1/4 of the world’s population, some 1.98 billion people, are in Frontier People Groups nearly unreached by any witness for Christ; 33 of these groups excede 10 million people; roughly the population of the U.S., taken together.

“The vast majority of mission prayer, giving and laborers focuses on strengthening Christians where Christians are already present. Only a tiny portion of mission prayer and resources go to Unreached People Groups at all, and only a tiny fraction of this goes to Frontier Unreached People Groups. Very few mission agencies and churches send even 1% of their missionaries to Frontier Peoples.”

About 1/4 of the world’s population, some 1.98 billion people, are in Frontier People Groups nearly unreached by any witness for Christ; 33 of these groups excede 10 million people; roughly the population of the U.S., taken together.

And how many of those unreached groups already worship a "god" or "gods"?

    The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

    For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

    Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (Romans 1:18-25)

"What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace?

This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself. [Pascal, Pensees #425]
