Meet my new team! We call ourselves, ”The new kids on the block.”(because in every country, we literally ARE the new kids lol.) I’m so excited to do life with these amazing people. We will be leaving for Burma tomorrow, and over the next few months be going to India and Nepal. These countries are part of the 10/40 window and we are so excited to be part of the 3.3% To go into these areas and share the gospel. Because we will be in closed countries, I will be having to password protect my blogs to keep my mininisry and hosts safe. I will include that info in my next blog give you that info so we can stay in touch these next few months. Thank you!
It’s estimated that only 3.3% of foreign missionaries today are working to reach these unreached people. The other 96% are working in unevangelized, but not unreached areas.
Below you can read more about what the 10/40 window is, and how crucial it is to go there and share Jesus!
The 10/40 Window identifies a section of the world map encompassing North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It extends from latitude 10 degrees N to 40 degrees N of the equator. In and around this rectangular area lives the world’s least evangelized, most unreached people groups in terms of Christian missions. The countries in the 10/40 window are either officially closed or informally opposed to Christian ministry within their borders.
The 10/40 window it is home to almost two-thirds of the world’s population. This densely populated region contains the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and non-religious peoples, and the fewest number of Christ followers and Christian workers.
In addition, the highest concentration of people living in poverty—”the poorest of the poor”— reside within the 10/40 Window.
Nearly all of the worst countries in the world known for persecution of Christians are positioned in the 10/40 Window. Likewise, child abuse, child prostitution, slavery, and pedophilia are widespread there. And most of the terrorist organizations in the world are headquartered there, too.
Please keep us in your prayers as we serve in different ministries in the 10/40 window these next few months. We are excited to share what God does.
