Episode Details

We talk with David Bogosian from A Third of Us and Rotimi Akinpelu from Joshua Project about why the “unfinished task” still includes thousands of unreached and frontier people groups, and why prayer is the first strategy, not the last resort. We lay out how the global Church can wake up, reprioritize resources toward the hardest-to-reach places, and take practical steps toward lasting breakthrough. 

• David’s upbringing at the US Center for World Mission and learning to trust God’s provision 
• Joshua Project’s shift from data publishing to catalytic mobilization for frontier peoples 
• A Third of Us as an alliance to raise awareness, fuel prayer, and connect believers with trusted agencies 
• Why frontier people groups require a “furthest ship first” strategy for people and funding 
• The link between unreached peoples and the persecuted church in restricted access contexts 
• International Day of the Unreached on May 24 and the goal to “light up” a global prayer map 
• A real story of healing and movement growth among Dalits in Bihar, India 
• Practical on-ramps like the action pack, the three-line symbol, and people group adoption 
• Joshua Project’s ADOPT pathway: awaken, decide, orient, pray, take action 
• What ongoing engagement looks like after May 24, including reaching unreached neighbors through diaspora
