10/40 Window: The "10/40 window" is a phrase often used by missiologists to refer areas of our planet that remain to be reached by the gospel of Christ. While there are many areas outside of this geographic region that are quite needy, it does highlight the critical spiritual need in many remote places of our world. There are over 6,000 unreached people groups, located primarily in Asia.
Our goal is to mobilize and train believers to reach the lost in countries where Christianity is a significant religious minority. Because Western missions was done so well for so many years, we now have many fine nationals in every country who are capable of carrying on the work of missions in their home countries. Our task is to give them the tools to succeed and provide encouragement in various ways. How can we close our heart before such a great need spiritually? Listen to the apostle John on this point:
"By this perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whosoever hath this world's good, and seeth the brother have need, and shutteth up his compassions for him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word neither in tongue, but in deed and truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him." I John 3:16-19
Because we work in sensitive areas, we do not give the names of specific locations or workers, but we do appreciate your prayers and support for this work. We are convinced it is the last frontier of what God is doing on our planet today. Currently we are sponsoring 17 national projects in remote areas of the 10/40 window.
