Joshua Project Guide

16,409 people groups · Gemini Gem

Joshua Project tracks 16,409 people groups across every country — 7,148 unreached, 3.58 billion people. The data is massive and the site is built for researchers, not for the pastor preparing a missions Sunday talk.

A Gemini Gem that makes Joshua Project's data conversational. Ask about a region, a people group, or a missions strategy. Get answers with stats, context, and prayer points. Built on the same pattern: feed an AI the full dataset, let people ask questions in plain English.

Rising Faith

Built for the family

A boy born with a rare condition. Multiple surgeries. A family searching for a way to document his journey — the hard days, the miracles, and the faith that kept growing through all of it.

A personal tribute site built to tell his story across every chapter: medical milestones, sports achievements, family moments, and the scripture that carried them through. Built so his family never forgets how far they've come.

Crossings Mario

12 commits · 1 day

Teaching people about cross-cultural challenges is dry. Workshops and lectures lose attention. Good material, wrong medium.

A Mario-style platformer where each level represents a cross-cultural challenge. Jump, dodge, collect — and Each level ends with an insight card about a real cross-cultural friction point. One HTML file.

115 commits · 12 days

FC Asia

20 commits · 3 days

A marketplace ministry network across five Asian countries needed to show its work to potential funders. Plenty of WhatsApp updates, no pitch deck.

A site built to close a meeting. Country profiles, impact metrics, team bios, and a theory of change a funder can evaluate in one read. Two funders emailed after seeing the site.

Uncover

21 commits · 3 days

Conversations at gatherings stay shallow. You ask 'how was your week' and get 'good, busy.' — weather, work, weekend plans. The deeper stuff never surfaces.

You pick 4 photos. Then answer 4 questions, each deeper than the last. Works with 3-6 people. Most groups get past weather and work by question 2.

Strategy Studio

10 commits · 2 days

Nonprofits need strategy boards for planning retreats and team meetings — SWOT, theory of change, stakeholder maps. But the tools are either too complex (Miro) or too basic (paper).

Paste your text, pick from 10 strategy board templates, and get a print-ready visual in seconds. Paste. Pick a template. Print.

samdkim.com

11 commits · 3 days

A Harvard ethicist and Yale research fellow whose book won the Publishers Weekly Grand Prize had no personal website. His work lived scattered across university bios and event listings.

A 5-page editorial site that puts the work first. Book, speaking, newsletter, about, contact. Washington Post quote above the fold. Clean enough that a conference organizer books him in one scroll.

Mission Commons

230 commits · 7 weeks

A nonprofit serving 1.13 million international students had no website that spoke to both donors and ministry workers. The org’s story lived in pitch decks and scattered PDFs.

A two-audience site: donors get the vision, impact stats, and a scholarship application. Ministry workers get a tool gallery with reviews and live demos. Hero video, collective impact framework, team bios. All static HTML, zero dependencies.

Pudding Missions

5 commits · 1 day

The global missions movement generates decades of data — workers deployed, funds raised, people reached — but the big picture stays buried in PDFs nobody opens.

A scrollytelling data visualization. The numbers behind global missions, told through animated charts that build as you scroll.. Scroll to explore.
