Mapping the Unreached World: How Joshua Project Tracks the Least-Reached | Featuring Chris Clayman

When we talk about missions today, it’s easy to think the church is making progress somewhere “out there.” But what if the story we’re telling ourselves is incomplete? What if the real problem isn’t opposition to the gospel—but the absence of access to it?

In our latest episode of The Keystone Project Podcast, we sit down with Chris Clayman, CEO of Joshua Project, an organization helping the global church see where the gospel has not yet gone.

This episode isn’t just inspiring—it’s eye-opening. Chris shares how data drives strategic mission decisions and how Joshua Project equips the church to move from awareness to action.

You’ll hear:

• How Joshua Project identifies over 7,000 unreached people groups worldwide.
• The difference between unreached, frontier, and hidden people groups—and why it matters.
• How population, migration, and diaspora data shape opportunities for the gospel.
• How local churches and missionaries use research to prioritize next steps for reaching the least-reached peoples.

Whether you’re a missionary, a ministry leader, or a follower of Christ wanting to see God’s Kingdom expand, this episode will reframe how you see the world map—and your place in God’s global story.

Together, we can take part in reaching the unreached in our generation.
