* What is The 10/40 Window?
3.1 billion people, 37 of the world's 50 least evangelized countries, and 95% of unreached people groups (with no nationally led, viable, reproducing church) are located in an area of the world called The 10/40 Window, which extends from West Africa to East Asia, from 10 degrees north to 40 degrees north of the equator. Often called "The Resistant Belt", this region encompasses the majority (2.7 billion) of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. It also includes the 1.2 billion inhabitants of China, an area of huge need and strategic value. Two-thirds of those in The 10/40 window - two billion people - have never heard of Jesus Christ, at least not as Savior.
(Most of these facts, and the 10/40 map graphic, are from the AD2000 web site, and are used with permission. Some additional information from the Eternal Perspectives Ministry web page. Please visit these online resources for more about The 10/40 Window.)
