10/40 Window - What is it? 2.2 Billion people or 1,739 People Groups have little or no access to the Gospel of Christ. Most are located within an area 10 degrees to 40 degrees north latitude and from West Africa to East Asia, commonly referred to the “10/40 Window.”

There is a world map entitled “Status of Global Evangelization,” which shows the levels of evangelization of the world’s people. Contact Global Research, PO Box 6767, Richmond, VA 23230 or fax: 804-254-8980.

WORLDWIDE PERSPECTIVES COURSE perspectives@uscwm.org
Most Americans know very little about God’s work in the world. In fact, it’s difficult no matter where you live to know about the world Christian movement as such news is not readily available. Certainly local newspapers, public radio, or even dateline would not carry this information. But you can discover this exciting news in the appropriately named course, “Perspectives on the World Christian Movement.”
This 15-week program (1 day per week) that examines four major concerns or perspectives is brought to life by the speakers. Each class offers new insight with a different top missions leader or thinker. These teachers offer insight on their area of expertise as well as practical resources for further exploration.
The first perspective explored in the course is the Biblical Basis for missions. The entire Bible is carefully examined to reveal God’s heart for the nations and His desire for their redemption. Secondly, the study of the historical expansion of the Christian Movement from the time of Christ gives us new perspective on how to win entire people groups today. Third, the class explores culture and how it impacts the way the gospel is presented to other peoples. Two critical issues are how to make the gospel relevant to the listeners and how to reach the people without imposing the missionary’s own culture. The last perspective focuses on the strategic considerations: effective uses of finances and personnel, mobilization of other Christians, discipleship and personal involvement in accomplishing God’s plan for world evangelization. This perspective is perhaps the most important as it directly addresses completing God’s command to reach all peoples with the good news of Jesus.

DESTINATION 2000 VIDEO SERIES
by Bob Sjogren, 4663 Crown Hill Road, Mechanicsville, VA 23111
(888)661-9920, bob.sjogren@juno.com
To journey from and unveil God's heart in a fresh new way: This is not a motivational seminar nor for your own fulfillment. The series helps you go beyond your cultural security and draw closer to God & His Word. Helps put together in your mind a puzzle called "Christianity -what is it all about?" As you discover this, you'll see God's 2-fold purpose to bless you to be a blessing to all nations on the face of the earth. If we do not catch God's heart for all nations and thus align our lives with it, then every major decision in our lives could be faulty unless we understand God's clear intent to redeem people from every tongue, tribe, and nation.
