Chris Clayman, CEO of Joshua Project, shares the surprising journey from the organization's humble beginnings to becoming the definitive resource for tracking unreached people groups worldwide. Though it has informed global missions strategy for 30 years, Joshua Project has operated with minimal staff and resources while maintaining the world's most trusted database of unreached peoples.
• Chris's personal journey began in a mud hut in Mali before medical emergencies led to an unexpected path
• Meeting the first Wassoulou convert in New York who came to faith through a dramatic vision of Jesus
• Joshua Project has operated with just 2-4 staff members for most of its 30-year history
• The biblical basis for people group focus traces from Genesis to Revelation
• Current estimates show approximately 10,000 distinct people groups with 4,000 still unreached
• Modern challenges include tracking diaspora communities and leveraging technology for global access
• Joshua Project is expanding from 5 to 30 staff across 15-20 countries with plans for internationalization
• Technological upgrades are needed to make data accessible in multiple languages
• Anyone can contribute updates by emailing [email protected] or using the website submission forms
"Research is information that creates awareness, and awareness creates a sense of responsibility."
