Unreached peoples of Cocos Islands

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

The people group profile of the Cocos Islands is simple and challenging: practically the entire native population belongs to a single group, the Cocos Malays, still classified among the unreached peoples. This people has its own language and culture, and the Bible is still not available in its mother dialect. The Christian presence is concentrated among residents from Australia, not among the local community.
