An Alternate Approach to the 10/40 Window

These are the 5 stages of our mission strategy. I believe it always starts with evangelism and the making of disciples. The goal is to see churches established with national leaders to continue the business of reaching the lost. In the past, some mission strategies have stopped after these first three stages. After training a national pastor to take over the work, they will repeat the process in a new location, starting with evangelism.
The “Great Commission” says to go and make disciples and to teach them to obey “everything I have commanded you”. This includes the command to go to all nations. Since the fall of Communism, we have seen many people saved, and churches have been started and strengthened. It’s now time for a church planting movement! Over the past few years, they have begun to plant churches! They are working with the ABWE missionaries to develop a church planting strategy. Our goal is to use church planting as the catalyst for a future missions movement.

An Alternate Approach to the 10/40 Window

The core of the unreached people of our world live in a rectangular shaped window! Often called "TheResistant Belt", the window extends from West Africa to East Asia, from ten degrees north to forty degrees north of the equator. This specific region, which has increasingly become known as The 10/40 Window, encompasses the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists -- billions of spiritually impoverished souls. The best resources to reach the 10/40 window may be found next door in Eastern Europe! Many other nationalities and ethnic groups have easier access than North Americans. If we help them develop a strategy that works for their culture, train and prepare missionaries from other lands to obey the Great Commission, then we can reach more of these unreached people groups.

 
   



   

  
"There is no type of service any of us can undertake which is beset with so much potential as is the service of the Master. On the one hand, there is so much that is rewarding, and on the other hand, so much that is disappointing. Many are the obstacles to be overcome and many the pitfalls to be avoided. On how many occasions we have taken up a task in the name of the Lord only to withdraw, beaten, discouraged, and baffled, and yet, somehow, baffled to fight better. For every discouragement has been allowed to come to us in order that through it we may be cast in utter helplessness at the Savior’s feet. Then we return to the battle again, no longer trusting in the false and insufficient human resources which so foolishly we had taken into the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord." - Alan Redpath
