Unreached peoples of Hong Kong

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

Hong Kong is home to about 19 people groups, of which nearly 8 are considered unreached. The vast majority are ethnic Chinese, mainly Cantonese, along with Hakka communities and Chinese from other backgrounds. The city is also home to large groups of migrant workers, such as Filipinos and Indonesians, as well as South Asian, Nepali, Malay, and Thai communities and the deaf community, many of which still have little access to the gospel in their own language and culture. About 13% of the population is Christian and around 6% is evangelical.
