Hello @DLM, sadly, the answer is no (according to various missionary groups that keep such statistics).
Here is some interesting information from the Joshua Project about this: Global Statistics | Joshua Project
Also, here is some info about the Joshua Project itself, just FYI: Joshua Project | Joshua Project
God bless you!

No, at least not what this verse is addressing:
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
There will come a time when the gospel will be preached in all the world, then the end shall come. It's an endtimes, global happening which precedes the end which would be the end of this current age with a new age beginning. This likely is a reference to the testimony of the two witnesses and/or the testimony of the beheaded martyrs and the end being the second coming and the new age of the thousand years rod or iron rule over the nations.
Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Only God knows this for certain. "To all the wold" does not refer to land area IMO, it refers to all the peoples of the world........
I am amazed that there are still peoples being discovered living in far away places that we did not know existed before. As well, there may be pockets of peoples in "known areas" were the Gospel has yet to be preached.
God will determine when this requirement has been fulfilled, and when He will send His Son to gather His children unto Him. He and ONLY HE knows the time this will occur.
Yes, the Air waves have allowed to to be fulfilled, now God isn't going to wait on one hermit living in a cave somewhere, the truth is every nation in the world has heard about Jesus. Those who were in the cave may get to hear the Two-witnesses after the Asteroid rocks them out of their caves, LOL.
There are videos where someone is in Israel and asks random Jews on street if they have heard of Jesus. Half have no idea who that is, the other know some but don't believe in him or any of his teachings. That's worse in many places in world that simply have no knowledge of Jesus at all.
That's not the requirement of "HAS THE GOSPEL BEEN PREACHED UNTO ALL THE WORLD". If the Gospel has been preached in Israel, and there on TV, they the Gospel his been preached there, BESIDES the Gospel started there. If the Gospel has been preached unto all the world then the Mission of the Church has been reached.
My interpretation of that prophecy is that the gospel will be spoken, and everyone will hear it that are alive at the time, then the end comes. A miracle much like every eye seeing Christ returned. I don't think it means if the gospel was once preached in a country or most countries, then that means it's fulfilled there etc etc.
Yes and No. There is probably no one who has not heard of Christ or knows about Christianity. On the other hand many may not have heard the true Gospel. Also, there is only one Gospel, though it has many designations. But many preachers have not preached the full and true Gospel in recent times. And many have preached "another gospel".
The gospel of the kingdom has not been preached in all the world. It only went out to Israel during the earthly ministry of Christ. The gospel of the grace of God has gone out into all the world, been preached to every creature, and to all nations as scripture states.
They aren’t that far away; sometimes those who haven’t heard the gospel are in our backyards so to speak. I’ve spoken to plenty of people who don’t know the gospel, and some who claimed to have never heard of Jesus Christ, right here in the USA.
I think this goes to show that every Christian should be a missionary no matter where they find themselves. Whether they be in a remote jungle, an Internet forum, or church.

This is something to consider, wise words.
Many many preachers go from church to church preaching the gospel to christian people who already have heard about Jesus.
We should be going outside the church, that is where the Gospel is needed, now I am not blaming these preachers because one does not simply pack up and go to India to preach the gospel, its not that simple. But all I am saying is, the Church should focus on reaching the unreached.
