Macedonian Project and the 10/40 Window What is the Macedonian Project? Two thousand years ago, a young missionary named Paul heard the cries of a man echoing from the faraway region of Macedonia in the middle of the night. History reveals that Paul's decision to seek out that man and his subsequent life's work in that region changed the course of human civilization. Not an isolated incident in history, however, the same cry is now being heard from across the nations in the 10/40 Window.
More than two billion people live from day to day in this region, never having heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to heed their calling and fulfill the Great Commission in our lifetime by working together with the churches to reach these nations desperately in need of the Gospel.
Every summer KCCC has been sending students to 10/40 window countries where people are in need of hearing the Gospel. Through several programs such as English class and cultural performance, our students develop friendship with the local college students who will be the leaders of their countries. If in need, our students went to eight different countries, and in the upcoming year more countries will be opened for short-term mission.
What is the 10/40 Window? The window is a region that extends from West Africa to East Asia and 10 degree North to 40 degree South of the equator. The sixty one nations within this window encompass 65% of the world's population and 92% of all people living in poverty. Most importantly, however, the 10/40 Window contains 97% of all people who have not heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, two billion people in all. |
