"I will give you my message in the form of a vision. Write it clearly enough to be read at a glance. At the time I have decided, my words will come true." Habakkuk 2: 2-3

Jesus came to them and said 'Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you, I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.' Matthew 28: 19-20

This is a wake up call for there are still many who are un-reached - those who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. These people groups should be on our hearts, for the task of the church is evangelization.

The core of the un-reached people of our world live in a rectangular-shaped window called The 10/40 Window this window extends from West Africa to East Asia, from ten degrees north to forty degrees north of the equator. This specific region encompasses the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. In the year 2000 AD: it was estimated there were 1.1 billion Muslims; 1.0 billion Hindus; and 600 million Buddhists - this represents billions of un-reached souls.

Now we live in a new millennium, it is imperative that our evangelistic efforts be focused among the people who inhabit the 10/40 Window. We are serious in our commitment to provide a valid opportunity for every person to experience the true and saving power of Jesus Christ, we cannot ignore the compelling realities within this region.

The 10/40 Window confronts us with several important considerations:

• first, the historical and biblical significance;
• second, the least evangelized countries with 6,000 unreached people groups;
• third, the large number of poor and diseased;
• fourth, the least evangelized mega-cities;
• sixth, the dominance of three religions;
• seventh, the strongholds of Satan within ‘The 10/40 Window’.

"The poor are the lost, and the lost are the poor."
Missions is the heartbeat of God

Senator Lynette Eastmond, Barbados' Minister of Commerce, Consumer Affairs and Business Development, speaking recently at a business seminar, at United Nations (UN) House, in association with the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation (BIDC), is of the view that the "synergies to be derived from Barbados' reconnection with Africa, have great potential for culture, the economy, trade and investment".

Senator Eastmond commented that as part of the foreign policy, "Barbados has set for itself a goal of reconnecting with the African continent". She shared several ways in which the current has achieved this goal.< Read more >

Heidi Baker spoke in Kelowna in Mozambique on 26th February. She was describing the current situation in Mozambique after the recent Cyclone Favio hit the country. Apparently 300, 000 families are without homes or food in central Mozambique . Children are screaming for food and shelter. The only people helping at this moment are Iris Ministries. The need is huge and desperate as many thousands may die from starvation. No world agency has responded to date.

Please get the word out. Money is desperately needed to purchase food in the region and then for containers of food to be sent for longer term care. We the church must respond in this urgent hour. Please pray as to what you can do.

Please feel free to distribute this note as widely as possible.
