The 10/40 Window

The Neglected Window: the 10/40 Window
Today the reality is that 97 percent of the world's unreached lives in the 10/40 Window, a rectangular shaped area on our globe extending from West Africa to East Asia, from 10 degrees north to 40 degrees north of the equator. In this part of the world, millions live with little or no chance of ever hearing the Gospel. The Window also encompasses the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.

Although 97 percent of the world's unreached lives in the 10/40 Window ... Less than 0.05% of our total resources as the Church in the West are being sent to help share the Good News.

Truly there is a staggering amount of work to do.

Within the 10/40 Window:
The darkest of all areas within the 10/40 Window is Asia.
Over 80,000 die every day in Asian countries without knowing about the love of Jesus Christ.
500,000 villages in India alone have never heard the Gospel.
