Why The 10/40 Window?
The 10/40 Window is named for a geographic box between 10°N and 40°N Latitude. (A few countries to the north and south that have a high number of unreached people groups are included as well.) Most of the world’s people, most major religious blocks, and most unevangelized people groups are found in the 10/40 Window. Language barriers, cultural and religious barriers, and geographical barriers keep many from ever hearing the name of Jesus.

In spite of all this, the 10/40 Window only receives about 1% of global mission spending.
