The Most Unreached

Unevangelised Map

Imagine your world without Jesus.

For 2 billion people, they don’t have to imagine; they can’t imagine a world with Jesus.

There are still hundreds of millions waiting to hear the Gospel for the very first time.

The majority of these people live in the 10/40 Window, a rectangular shaped area on our globe extending from West Africa to East Asia, from 10 degrees north to 40 degrees north of the equator.

In this part of the world, millions live with little or no chance of ever hearing the Gospel. The Window also encompasses the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.

Although 97 percent of the world's unreached lives in the 10/40 Window...

Less than 0.05% of our total resources as the Church in the West are being sent to help share the Good News. Truly there is a staggering amount of work to do.

Within the 10/40 Window:

The darkest of all areas within the 10/40 Window is Asia.

  • Over 80,000 die every day in Asian countries without knowing about the love of Jesus Christ.
  • 500,000 villages in South Asia alone have no ongoing Christian witness.
  • For the unreached, their world is untouched by the message of God’s love in Christ Jesus and the demonstration of it as well. Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries are reaching out to this world with both the message and the demonstration of it.

For Gospel for Asia, this isn’t ‘alright.’ In fact, our passion is to change these facts as quickly as we can. This change happens most quickly when the global church works together as a body to reach those who have no idea that Jesus ever walked the face of the earth.

500,000

villages in Southeast Asia are without a single Gospel witness

80,000

people die every day without having heard the Gospel

85 PERCENT

of unreached countries are closed to foreign missionaries

How are we reaching the most unreached?

  • Through Prayer: The foundation of Gospel for Asia's ministry is prayer. We know that nothing is accomplished without prayer, and therefore we give it a place of priority. Gospel for Asia missionaries and staff, literally around the world, pray consistently and with great fervour for those who have never heard that Jesus loves them.
  • Through National (or Indigenous) Missionaries: Without the cultural barriers carried by Western missionaries, GFA-supported national missionaries are equipped to share the Good News to those who have yet to hear about a God who loves them. Find out more about these courageous men and women.
  • Through Giving: Giving takes many forms at Gospel for Asia. Some give out of financial abundance; others, as in the story of the widow's mite, give out of great need. Some give up secular careers to serve as staff at a GFA office. And, of course, the missionaries on the field sacrifice their entire lives to His service. No matter what our role is—whether missionary sponsor, volunteer, support staff or field missionary—we have all given ourselves over to the call of Christ that we might be used for His glory. Our donation centre offers many ways you can help support the work on the field.

Why are we reaching the most unreached?

  • Jesus commanded us to reach them
  • We are called: There are many serving Jesus across the world, and Gospel for Asia is privileged to be serving Him in Asia.
  • The need is great: Even as millions live in total spiritual darkness, the Church in the West spends less than 1 percent of its total resources on sharing the Good News with the most unreached.
