 I was doing a little research on some of the countries with the highest number of unreached and unengaged people groups. When most people think unreached people groups, they envision a Papua New Guinea  scenario with vast, dense jungles, indigenous people groups who've never seen a Westerner or heard any language but their own. The truth is, that place has been saturated and is almost completely reached and has already been completely engaged.

The world missions focus is being sharpened to many nations in Asia like Nepal, India and Thailand. This morning I was looking into Nepal. I have always loved this country, ever since reading John Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" and watching the IMAX documentary "Everest". This Country is home to the 8 tallest peaks in the world! The country itself is beautiful with some of the world's most hostile terrain, a very remote and isolating geographic distribution of people groups, and unseen and unknown valleys, canyons and mountains that likely have yet to be conquered by outsiders.

Nepal, which seems to be primarily Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist has the largest percentage of unreachd and unengaged people groups that I have been able to find (check out The Joshua Project to see if you can find a nation with more).

Due to there geography, Nepal has managed to remained isolated from the rest of the World. A cultural anthropologist might find this nation to be a treasury filled with untapped data and information, but human life doesn't amount to just statistics and research potential. There is a need there to bring them the gospel. A whole bunch of people need to suit up and set sail (not literally, the countries kinda landlocked) for this nation intent on sharing God's love for all people. It wont be easy and it will come with some risk, okay, maybe a lot of risk. But they need to at least hear the gospel message and someone needs to be willing to bring it. Is it you? Why not?
