Chile

Unreached peoples of Chile

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

Chile is a majority Christian nation, but with few groups still considered unreached. The greatest challenges lie among the indigenous peoples, especially the Mapuche in the south and the Aymara and Atacameño communities in the north, where biblical faith still has limited reach and there are languages without a complete Bible translation. Add to that the vast field of the secularized urban population, which keeps the Christian label without living faith.
