Purpose Summary

The current Missions Atlas Project (MAP) is an attempt to pick up the challenge Charles H. Fahs issued in 1925, namely to utilize the advances in computer and Internet technologies to establish an accurate base map of the world (at least a 1:1,000,000 projection).

On that base map will be built a depiction of all the inhabited cities, towns, and villages of the world, collate the most accurate data available for displaying the locations of all known evangelical churches in their habitat locations throughout the world, and integrate correlating data that yields strategic implications (such as languages spoken, population figures, identifiable people groups, ratio of churches to people by provincial levels and beyond).
