What the heck is a Woodchuck anyway?

I've always wondered what the 10/40 window was... OR why it was significant and whether it was just another diagram drawn up in the early 90's when I was a kid...

Maybe things have changed. Why 10/40 anyways? We got WD-40...

I came across this site today... www.joshuaproject.com. It basically says

"Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations"
Jesus said it 2,000 years ago. Where do we stand today?"

Have a good look.

In red is the least reached and most unreached people groups in this world... That is, the 10/40 Window. Have a good look at the picture...

While we see colours, and a location on a world map, God sees the 2.7 Billion people unreached.

These are the countries in the 10/40 Window

The 10/40 Window has several important considerations: first, the historical and biblical significance; second, the least evangelized countries; third, the unreached people groups and cities; fourth, the dominance of three religious blocs; fifth, the preponderance of the poor; sixth, the strongholds of Satan within the 10/40 Window.
