Missions Statistics

I'm doing some research for a message this evening, and came across the following statistics.
clipped from www.cmalliance.org
One third of earth?s people call themselves Christians. One third of non-Christians live in already reached people groups. One third of non-Christians live in unreached people groups. 680 million people (11.5%) are Evangelicals or Bible-reading Christians.
U.S. missionaries make up only 30 percent of the world?s missionaries. Our slightly declining annual number is being overtaken by increased participation from Africa, Latin America, and Korea.
Of those involved in missions in the US, 98% are Senders (Financial Supporters, Prayers, Letter, Mobilizers, Pastors, etc.), 0.5% are Servicers (Mobilizers, Administrative, Tech Support, Training, communications), 1.5% are Missionaries (Church Planting, Development, Tentmaking, Tribal Outreach, Health Services).
