What Is the “10-40 Window”?
The 10-40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. The 10-40 Window is often called “The Resistant Belt” and includes the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. Think T.H.U.M.B. when you hear 10-40 Window: Tribes (or unreached people groups), Hindus, China (okay…a “C” turned on its side “U”!), Muslims, and Buddhists!

We support Messianic outreach in Prague, Czech Republic and Budapest, Hungary. We support the European Baptist Federation’s church planting Indigenous Missionary Project by sponsoring church planters in Slovakia, Hungary, Israel, and Iraq.
