Philippines

Unreached people groups

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 Philippines is home to 200 people groups, most of them already reached by the gospel and with active Christian communities. Even so, 28 groups, nearly 7 million people, still have no established church among them, concentrated mainly among Muslim communities in the south of the archipelago and some indigenous peoples in the mountains of the north.
