Because they have never seen a missionary. There are zero to no Christians among them. They have no churches. Christian radio broadcasts don’t air among them. They are deprived of the Gospel because Christ’s followers rarely bring Jesus’ message to them.
The majority of unreached people groups live in the 10/40 Window. We are passionate about alleviating Gospel deprivation by sharing the message of Jesus Christ with them.
The 10/40 Window
is a rectangular shaped area on our globe extending from West Africa to East Asia, from 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator. Nearly 4 billion people live here, including more than 80 percent of the world’s poorest of the poor. Nearly 2 billion in the 10/40 Window have never had the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ—not even once.
THE WORLD'S POPULATION WHO LIVE HERE:
69%
THE WORLD'S UNREACHED PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE:
97%
THE WORLD'S POOR WHO LIVE HERE:
82%
MISSIONARIES WHO WORK HERE

FINANCES ALLOTTED TO REACH THE UNREACHED:

We seek to reverse the great imbalance of global missions by taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached people groups.
Gospel deprivation is the root cause of major world injustice. God’s Kingdom transforms culture. Where there is no access to the message of Jesus Christ, suffering ensues.
