Many unreached places face intense persecution––where believers meet in secret, owning a Bible is a crime, and sharing the gospel with anyone, even a family member or friend, can turn into a death sentence.

And yet, the Japanese are the second-largest unreached people group in the world. It’s the largest open country still unreached by the gospel. Less than 2% of the population identifies as Christian.
