This document summarizes the state of Christianity globally. It finds that while Christianity is the largest world religion, over a quarter of the world remains unevangelized. Most unevangelized people live in India, China, Pakistan, and other Asian and North African nations. The task of global evangelism faces challenges such as an imbalance in missionary sending from Western nations, strategic issues around reaching unreached people groups, and ensuring the gospel is preached to all nations as commanded in the Bible. Achieving this goal will require mobilizing Christians to sacrifice for missions, partnering cross-culturally, and intensive prayer.
