The core of the unreached people of our world live in a rectangular-shaped window that has often been referred to as the "Resistant belt," that extends from West Africa across Asia, between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north of the equator, hence the name "10/40 Window".  Click the rectangle window to see the countries.  The unevangelized are people who have a minimal to no knowledge of the Gospel, but have had no valid opportunity to respond to it.  The unreached are the two billion people who have never heard of Jesus as Savior, and are not within reach of Christians among their own people.  There are, in fact, some 2,000 peoples or nationalities in which there is not a vital indigenous church movement. This window was brought to light by a joint effort of the Joshua Projects 2000 and the AD2000 and Beyond Movement. We are grateful to Mission researcher David Barrett and Louis Bush and many behind the scene pushers for the intercession of this window
