Unreached peoples of Croatia
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.
Croatia is a majority Christian and relatively homogeneous nation, but there are still groups little reached by a living gospel, especially minorities and communities linked to other traditions. More than a lack of access, the challenge is inherited faith that needs to become personal. There are also minority languages without the Scriptures fully available and communities that live on the margins of the Croatian church.
