They do not have a church in their language nor do they usually have a Bible in their language. They are people groupings that do not have access to the gospel. This means that outside of Christ supernaturally working they have no way to hear about Christ and how they can go to heaven. This is a key term and concept. It is not people who have not accepted Jesus. It is people groups who do not even know the gospel. They have not heard the gospel and rejected it; they have usually never even heard the gospel.
