Unreached peoples of Martinique
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.
Martinique brings together few people groups, but ones of quite different origins: descendants of French settlers, the majority Afro-descendant and Creole-speaking population, Haitian immigrants, a small community of Indian origin (the Tamil people, brought for the plantations after the end of slavery) and a deaf community that still lacks full access to the gospel in its own language. Most Martinicans belong to Christian churches, but in a superficial or partial way: what is missing is biblical depth and discipleship that turns inherited faith into personal, living faith.
