The good thing is … Dan and company have not a shred of defensive attitude. Quite the contrary. They beg for correction. Log on at…
to learn more about unreached people. And if you do a vision trip, prayer journey, or a full-time overseas experience and you hear of errors, please don’t just sit back and complain; Tell them about it!

It’s the only way we’ll create more accurate data! I wrote Dan this week to see if he was still seeking your honest feedback. He responded, “Joshua Project has no field workers or on-site researchers. Joshua Project data is simply a compilation of data we get from others. We use local researchers info, on-site missionary feedback, survey and mission trip reports, census info, etc. to compile Joshua Project data. We also heavily reference other global data sets such as the Ethnologue, IMB / Peoplegroups.org, World Christian Encyclopedia and mission researchers such as Patrick Johnstone and many others.”
He continued, “Joshua Project data certainly has inaccuracies and we seek to continually refine / update / correct the data. We are also most open to adjusting, tweaking, modifying, deleting material on the Joshua Project website in any way that would be most beneficial in advance the Lord’s Kingdom. We want to scratch where the unreached people itch is, not simply to be an academic exercise in documenting ethnic peoples data. I can’t promise we will implement every suggestion for the website mainly because of the very limited web development skills of yours truly, but we so value feedback regarding the pros / cons / needs / ideas for the web presentation of the data!”
What’s not to like about *that* refreshing attitude? So go ahead — make his day. Let him know how you feel about your specialty people group. It just might help the person who comes after you.
