In a sermon given on 10/29/06 entitled "The Aroma of Christ Among the Nations" from II Cor 2:12-17, Dr. John Piper made the following comments about Joshua Project:
"... Or you could go online to joshuaproject.net which I do recommend that you do. I don't know of any site more helpful or
clearer for getting unreached peoples before you than joshuaproject.net where
you will learn things like this, which I did just yesterday to
refresh the details. According to their rigorous way of doing statistics
15,988 distinct ethno-linguistic peoples exist in the world. Of
these 6,572 are unreached if you define unreached as having fewer than
2% Christians. 2.6 billion people live in those unreached people
groups."

"Joshua Project is a strategic and highly-valued ministry, and
I encourage you to invest in it generously. Two recent developments
have positioned Joshua Project for even greater influence in the
days ahead. First, the vibrant and fast-growing non-Western mission
movements are making increasing use of Joshua Project services.
Second, Joshua Project is now a ministry of the U.S.
Center for World Mission, creating synergies with other USCWM ministries such
as Mission Frontiers magazine, the Global
Prayer Digest, and Perspectives and giving Joshua Project even higher visibility and leverage.
Please join me in helping Joshua Project to appropriate this new
day of exciting opportunities to promote even greater Kingdom advance
among unreached peoples."

"I have had the privilege
of observing the birth and growth of the Joshua Project ministry.
This ministry has already been used of the Lord very significantly
and has great potential for the future. Joshua Project provides
infrastructural support for the incredibly important task of reaching
out to the unreached people groups of the world with the love and
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This unique servant ministry is
being conducted by trusted and highly skilled specialists who are
committed to Christ and the advancement of His Kingdom. I highly
recommend them to you along with the significant ministry of the
Joshua Project."

"I am thankful for the dedicated
servants of Joshua Project. They have selflessly ministered to
the Body of Christ by doing a fantastic job of preserving and updating
the files of the unreached peoples of the world. They exhibit a Christ-like spirit in the midst of their many responsibilities
by their ready willingness to assist someone with an urgent need.
I am delighted to commend the "Joshua Project" team
and do so without any reservations."

"The Joshua Project
team already have a fine track record of providing excellent
information to the Body of Christ to guide its efforts to reach
the unreached peoples of the world. The kind of global information
on the peoples of the world they are gathering and disseminating
is absolutely crucial to guiding our total mission endeavor in the
21st century."

"Since the mid-1990's
the body of Christ worldwide has had an increasingly accurate
set of data on the world's unreached peoples, continually updated
and expanded from thousands of sources around the world. The
steward of this incredible database has been the Joshua Project
team. To lose their
function would be
an incalculable loss to the global church. It must be preserved
and enhanced until the task of world evangelization is complete."

"I
feel that the Joshua Project database will be one of the greatest
tools to help bring closure to the great commission. There is no
other tool that
has as much information about the peoples of the world as the Joshua
Project database. By using this database we have been able to target
and focus our church planting efforts on unreached people groups.
With the help of the information in the Joshua Project database
we have been able to start close to 1000 new church in West Africa
since 2001. Many of these churches are in Unreached People Groups.
Every person who has a heart for missions should use this database."

"I recommend the Joshua
Project database to any mission, church, or Christian organization
that wants to know more about any people group that may be dispersed
across several countries, and which requires a multi-faceted, multi-country
strategy to reach them. Nowhere else will you find an ethno-linguistic
statistical database that provides a platform that will permit like-minded
ministries to begin linking together, update data, and share information.
In so doing, they will come to understand what each of them is doing
because they are using a common set of terms and definitions."
