There is a name that just on an average day, you may say at least a dozen times. That name you read about or you can hear about, that name is seen in magazines, seen on television, heard on the radio, probably pick it up most anywhere on the Internet.

Just today, you've probably already said that name. Many times. And yet one out of three people  in the world have never heard it and it's the name of Jesus.

Most of the people that have never heard about Jesus live in what we would call a window of the world located at 10 degrees and 40 degrees latitude, north latitude of the equator. If you looked on a globe, this window stretches from North Africa across the map to Japan and it includes the Middle East, central and south Asia, Southeast Asia and China and the Far East.

There are approximately 6.2 to 6.3 billion people in the earth. Two thirds of that world population, 4 billion live in the 67 nations of the 10/40 window.

It is estimated that at least from 1.6 to 1.7 billion have never had the opportunity or the chance to hear the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ?not even once. Yet every single soul was purchased by the blood of Jesus, bought and paid for by Jesus.

Of the 70 percent of those in the 10/40 window, that are 35 years of age and under, 70 percent of them are children under the age of 15, numbering two billion.

There is a difference between unreached people and unsaved people. Somebody unsaved has heard the Gospel. Somebody unreached is living in an area of the world where they will live and they will die and never know that Jesus exists.

Let's be the ones that make it possible for these people to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can do our part by praying for the nations, supporting someone else to go financially, or going on a mission trip personally.
