Is Japan Really Unreached?
Japan has Toyota, Sony and McDonald's. Surely it has Jesus, right?
Wrong.
Is Japan really an unreached country? Could such an advanced, rich country truly be unreached?
The short answer, yes. In fact, Japan was only recently passed as the largest unreached people group in the world. (It is now #2.) In the scale below, Japan is rated as a 1.2. Please pray for us and for Japan.
