Malachi 1:11
Wow, you really are a Christian. So much has changed since 2003. Well, you have changed I am still the same…beautiful, intelligent, witty and political. What more could you ask for in a friend?
Where are the majority of these groups located? Is it Asia and the Middle East? Recently I noticed that most church mission programs don’t send very many missionaries to these areas; yet they are the most needy. Most of my church’s missionaries go to South America or Europe. I think something needs to be done to change that.
Most (70% or so) are in the 10/40, but over 1,000 are outside of the 10/40 window. Most of them would be in the Middle East and Asia.
Check out The Joshua Project for more information.
The scary part is that no one in America shares their faith let alone thinks of going cross cultural to an unreached people group. The joy they lose out on is absolutely one of the few blessings in Christ only a select few ever taste.

I can agree with Paul to some degree. However, I have seen a growing number of people in my generation and others become obsessed with Christ and sharing whenever they have the chance… like a revolution of some sort.
Oh, and Chris… Nice idea on the pastor’s wife t-shirt… it would make life a whole lot easier for you to find that special woman. Hehe… you will find her when you least expect it. God tends to work like that.
“6,584 people groups could invidually adopted by 6,000 churches in the U.S.”
That is incredibly convicting. Oh for a more global vision as Christ’s followers.
Out of every 100 missionaries, only 4 will go to the 10/40 Window.
