The Challenge

Nearly one third of the world's population is hidden from the Gospel because of social, cultural, and linguistic barriers. However, an even greater barrier prevents the unreached from understanding the Christian message: illiteracy. Over 60% of the world's population cannot read or write, and an even higher percentage of illiteracy exists among unevangelized peoples. These peoples have no hope unless they are given an opportunity to see and hear the gospel message in a way that makes sense to them.
