THE MOST UNEVANGELIZED AREA
WHY DO WE NEED TO BE TRAINING GOSPEL WORKERS FOR
ASIA? Almost 2/3 of the world's population live
in the 10/40 Window. Workers from Churches of
Christ are few in number inside the 10/40 Window.
The Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu religions have
their strong-hold inside the 10/40 Window. There
are 34 Muslim, 7 Buddhist, 3 Marxist, and 2 Hindu
countries inside the 10/40 Window. The poorest
of the poor live inside the 10/40 Window.
One-half of the population inside the 10/40
Window are under the age of 20.
