My commitment to Jesus, to join Him in blessing Frontier People GroupsI commit to pray regularly, as the Holy Spirit leads me, for Jesus movements in Frontier People Groups—blessing their families and transforming their communities.
Father, fill me with Your love for all peoples, and guide me to learn, share, pray, give, send, and/or go, by Your grace and strength alone, for Your Glory among all nations. AMEN!

Forty years ago, 50% of humanity lived in people groups with almost no believers.This awareness brought much prayer and energy, especially over the past decade, to engaging all groups, of every size. And this has further clarified what remains to be done…
Today, only 25% of the world lives in frontier groups, with no internal witness.These 2 billion people live among the Unreached People Groups with the least progress—where less than 1 in 1,000 are believers, and there is no evidence of a Jesus movement.
This subset of UPGs still without visible progress is now known as…
Great Progresstoward blessing all Unreached People Groups (UPGs)!
Pray for the Good Seed to reach the Good Soil in these FPGsLord of the harvest, we beg You to send laborers to sow Your Word among these largest Frontier People Groups(Mt 9:37-28, Lk 10:2). (See list on back.)
Holy Spirit, we ask You to lead laborers to worthy households of peace (Mt 10,Lk 10), that will reproduce 30-, 60- or even 100-fold (Mt 13, Mk 4, Lk 8).
Keys to Unlocking these Strategic FPGsBLESSING FAMILIES We fulfill God’s covenant with Abraham by blessing all earth’s family-lines, and encouraging new Jesus-followers to bless their households, communities and entire people group (Gen 12:1–3, Gal 3:8, Heb 6:17).
JESUS MOVEMENTSWe help new believing households learn to hear Jesus speak to them and guide them as they discuss the scriptures together, and to encourage other households to do the same.
TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIESWe challenge believing households to grow in personal holiness, servanthood and godly wisdom, and to discern and address the influences destroying their families and communities.
SHARED HUMANITYWe lead people of all faiths to follow Jesus on the basis of our shared challenges and desires, knowing that God is seeking all who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth (Jn 4).
Frontier People Groups (FPGs)• virtually no Jesus-followers (0.1% or less)• no sustained Jesus movements.
GOD: “All family-lines on earth will be blessed through you” (Ge 12:3).
