Unreached peoples of Poland
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.
Poland is one of the most ethnically and religiously homogeneous countries in Europe, which reduces the number of people groups within its borders: 24 in total. Even so, four groups remain unreached by the gospel, totaling about 51,000 people: the Deaf Community, who use Polish Sign Language, Polish Jews, the Karaites, a small people of Turkic origin with their own religious tradition, and Kazakh immigrants. These are small groups, living on the margins of the country's Catholic majority and rarely reached by local churches.
