Section Two: Countries of the 10/40 Window

The following is an alphabetical list of the countries of the 10/40 Window with some information taken from a pamphlet published by the Christian Information Network (for more on them please see their site at www.christian-info.com The pamphlet is entitled "Praying Through the Window IV" October '99. Please visit their site to obtain other materials on the 10/40 Window.

As you read about these 65 countries, consider  the following:

* 3.2 billion people live within the Window.
* 85% are the poorest of the world's poor.
* 95% of the people are unevangelized.
*While people in the West have an excellent chance to be exposed to the Gospel many times, those
   millions living in the 10/40 Window have almost no chance of ever hearing the Gospel -- even once.
*Every major non-Christian religion is headquartered here: Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, indigenous
  religions and non-religious.
