UUPG stands for Unengaged, Unreached People Groups.

Here you can find the list of the world’s unengaged, unreached people groups that have no known full-time workers involved in evangelism and church planting! There are currently 261 Unengaged, Unreached People Groups, over 500 in population and still dwelling in their ancestral homeland, being prioritized for ministry.

International Project

"If all of the people groups in the world had an equal distribution of evangelical churches, there would be nearly a thousand churches for each people group. Yet a quarter of the people groups in the world have no church or active missionary presence. These people are Unengaged, Unreached People Groups (UUPG). Though much progress has been made in planting evangelical churches among UPGs, there is still a need to focus on people groups without any access to the gospel."
