No one told them about Jesus.
No Bible. No churches. No Christians. No access. Nobody is on the way. Roughly 2,800 people groups are still unengaged by the global Church — and, to solve that, the only step you can take by faith is the next one.

“Faith comes by hearing the word of God, which is spoken by messengers who are sent.”
Romans 10 — a description of how God has decided this works.
