The Most Overlooked Places on Earth

Are Found Within The 10/40 Window

10/40 Window

Over 5 Billion People Live Here

Most have never heard the Gospel.

These are the hardest places to follow Jesus.
Churches are largely underground.
Bibles are rare.
Persecution is real.

Some nations suppress information, such as China and Iran, but many have no restrictions at all.

Millions of people are on the internet, using the same tools we use daily, but no one has made shareable content.

For Example, in Lao

"Who is Jesus Christ?"

Returns No Results

The government of Laos doesn’t block Christian media, and over 3 million Lao speakers live outside the country. Yet for 4–7+ million people, there are no articles, blogs, or Christian videos in their native language. Laos is just one example of the widespread lack of basic Christian content across the 10/40 Window.

F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions

The 10/40 Window refers to a rectangular area of the world map between 10 and 40 degrees north latitude, stretching across North Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia. It contains the majority of the world's unreached people groups and the highest concentration of people who have never heard the Gospel.
Many countries in the 10/40 Window restrict or discourage Christian activity through laws, censorship, or persecution. In some cases, there's no legal restriction, but Christian content simply hasn't been created or translated into the local languages.
At the time of this writing (2025), Several countries in the 10/40 Window actively censor or restrict Christian websites, videos, and online materials. These include:
  • China
  • Iran
  • Saudi Arabia
  • North Korea
  • Turkmenistan
  • Uzbekistan
  • Pakistan
  • Syria
  • Sudan
  • Egypt
  • Bangladesh
  • Malaysia
  • Indonesia (in certain provinces)
  • Turkey
  • Algeria
  • Qatar
  • Bahrain
  • Kuwait
  • United Arab Emirates
These nations may block Bible websites, Christian YouTube content, evangelistic messages, or apps. In some, evangelism is illegal or even punishable by imprisonment.
Just one translated article or piece of content can be the first exposure someone has to Jesus in their own language. It opens the door for conversation, exploration, and discovery of the Gospel. Local Christians are often in danger to produce or host content online themselves, but with sharable content they can use those resources to help local discipleship and outreach.
In some countries, Christians must meet in secret due to legal or social persecution. These underground churches operate discreetly to avoid imprisonment, violence, or harassment.
Yes, they do. In most countries across the 10/40 Window, people use the same platforms we rely on—especially Google, which holds over 90% of the global search engine market share. While a few nations like China use local alternatives (such as Baidu), the majority of the region still turns to Google or YouTube to find answers. The challenge isn’t access—it’s that there’s almost no Christian content available in their language to show up in those searches.
Yes. Smartphones are widely used across the 10/40 Window, especially Android devices. In fact, mobile internet is often the primary way people go online in these regions. Many use the same apps, social media platforms, and messaging tools that we do. The barrier isn’t technology—it’s the lack of content in their heart language.
We’re looking for churches, ministries, translators, and content creators who want to help share the Gospel in overlooked languages and regions.
You can help by praying, supporting translation projects, creating content, or connecting us with people who speak these languages. Visit our partnership page to learn more.
