The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees South 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.
Approximately 5.8 billion individuals residing in 8,866 distinct people groups are in the revised 10/40 Window. 6,180(69.1%) of these people groups are considered unreached and have a population of 3.23 billion. This means approximately 61% of the individuals in the 10/40 Window live in an unreached people group. The 10/40 Window is home to some of the largest unreached people groups in the world such as the Shaikh, Yadava, Turks, Moroccan Arabs, Pashtun, Jat and Burmese.
The “unreached” are people who have minimal knowledge of the Gospel but have no valid opportunity to respond to it. While it constitutes only one-third of the earth’s total land area, nearly two-thirds of the world’s people reside in the 10/40 Window.
The revised 10/40 Window removes several Christianized countries such as South Korea and the Philippines. It includes additional Countries such as Indonesia that are close to the 10 or 40 degrees north latitude and have high concentrations of unreached people.
