The Nigeria Evangelical Missions Association (NEMA) is pleased to announce the release of HarvestScope 3.0 (2025) — the third and most comprehensive edition of Nigeria’s national missions research report.

HarvestScope exists to provide the Nigerian Church, mission agencies, partners, and stakeholders with reliable, field-informed data on the state of the harvest in Nigeria. This edition reflects months of rigorous research, data verification, and engagement with NEMA member agencies and mission leaders across the country.

What Is HarvestScope?
HarvestScope is NEMA’s flagship research and reporting initiative, designed to:

• Track the state of the Great Commission in Nigeria
• Highlight unreached and least evangelised people groups
• Provide insight into missionary deployment and engagement patterns
• Inform strategic planning, prayer, mobilisation, and collaboration

HarvestScope 3.0 builds on previous editions with updated data, deeper analysis, and expanded thematic focus.

What Does HarvestScope 3.0 Cover?
This edition is organised into seven key sections:

Section A: Organisational Profile and the State of the Harvest in Nigeria
An overview of Nigeria’s missions landscape, organisational capacity, and overall progress.

Section B: Unreached and Cross-Cultural Engagement
An updated profile of Nigeria’s unreached and least evangelised people groups and mission engagement among them.

Section C: Urban and Diaspora Missions
Insights into urban ministry, internal migration, and Nigerian missionary presence among diaspora communities.

Section D: Leadership Landscape
Findings on leadership structures, tenure systems, and succession realities across mission organisations.

Section E: Workforce Realities and Missionary Well-being
Data on missionary deployment, care systems, sustainability, and field challenges.

Section F: Needs Assessment and Missional Opportunities
Identified gaps, priority needs, and emerging opportunities for strategic mission investment.

Section G: Digital Engagement and Organisational Visibility
An analysis of how mission organisations are using digital platforms for communication, mobilisation, and impact.

Why HarvestScope 3.0 Matters
HarvestScope 3.0 is more than a report, it is a strategic tool for:

• Church leaders and mission executives shaping future directions
• Mission agencies strengthening structures and care systems
• Mobilisers and trainers equipping the next generation
• Intercessors and partners praying with informed understanding
• Donors and supporters investing with clarity and confidence

The report reflects the collective efforts, sacrifices, and testimonies of God’s work through Nigerian missions, while also honestly identifying gaps that require prayer, innovation, and collaboration.
