THE GREAT IMBALANCE

The greatest need.
A small share of giving.

A 2023 article in The Gospel Coalition highlights how little church giving supports work among unreached peoples. Your generosity can help local churches serve in these often-overlooked places.

0.102% toward unreached peoples99.898% other work
Source & calculation

Ben Wright, The Gospel Coalition, July 13, 2023, citing The Traveling Team: 6% of Christian giving goes to overseas missions; 1.7% of that supports unreached peoples. Multiplying gives 0.102% of total giving. These are published estimates, not HOC’s allocation or current audited figures.
