    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.

    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.
