Finishing The Task is a cooperative attempt of about five missions organizations started in 2006 focusing on getting 639 people groups adopted by church and see them reached with the Gospel. I thought I would share in this update encouraging statistics that happened since 2006. Notice 6 of the 639 have over 2% Christians now, and 200 have church planting movements beginning in them. There are still 315 peoples to adopt and pray for, please visit http://www.finishingthetask.com/639.aspx and consider adopting a people group to pray for and send missionaries too.  639 List Statistics
