Disclaimers:
  1. Joshua Project data is drawn from many sources and is of varying accuracy depending on source and editorial decisions. Data is the best available, but may be incorrect or out-of-date. On-the-ground reality may vary from what is presented here. Kingdom movements maybe be occurring that we are unaware of
  2. The data is not as precise as it appears. Values for %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical (which determine unreached status) are often informed estimates, some being more accurate than others. We do not recommend using %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical for precise calculations.
  3. A displayed zero can mean true zero or a very small rounded number. Blanks mean an unknown value.
  4. Joshua Project may be able to provide more information than what is seen on this website. Please contact us.
  5. Please do not make travel or ministry plans based on the data presented here without confirming with other sources.
