* An estimate of the number of pioneer workers needed for initial church planting among unreached people groups. Estimates are calculated only for unreached people groups and are based on ratio of 1 worker for every 50,000 individuals living in an unreached people group. Some workers may already be onsite. NA means Not Applicable, this people group is not unreached in this country. Many more workers are needed beyond this initial estimate.
