Unreached people groups

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

Chad is one of the countries with the highest concentration of unreached peoples in the world: of the country's 141 ethnic groups, more than half still have no established church in their midst. Most live in the north and center, among Arabic-speaking or Muslim-tradition peoples, while the south holds the peoples with the greatest Christian presence, such as the various Sara groups.
