- Renewed passion, commitment to, understanding of, and involvement in global mission
- Helps the church create a united global mission focus.

Injustice of the least-reached
Of the 16,000 people groups in the world, more than 6,000 are considered least-reached. These groups do not have access to the gospel due to cultural, linguistic, political or other barriers.
Many people in these groups will go from birth to death without ever hearing about Jesus. Less than 1% of people in these groups are believers, and Christians in nearby areas are not reaching out to them.
Currently 96% of Christian workers and resources are concentrated on the third of the world who already call themselves Christian. A further 3% is dedicated to another third who already have access to the gospel. This leaves a third of the world who have never heard the gospel, for which we have dedicated less than 1% of Christian workers and resources.
