Ten|Forty Threads is a fundraising organization that exists to support missionaries serving in the 10/40 Window.
The 10/40 Window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia between approximately 10 degrees North and 40 degrees North latitude. The 10/40 Window is home to the majority of the world's unevangelized countries. The "unevangelized" are people who have a minimal knowledge of the gospel, and have no valid opportunity to respond to it. While it constitutes only one- third of ea
rth's total land area, nearly two-thirds of the world's people reside in the 10/40 Window. The 10/40 Window is often called "The Resistant Belt" and includes the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. An estimated 2.91 billion individuals live in approximately 5,900 unreached people groups in the 10/40 Window. The 10/40 Window also contains the largest unreached people groups— some with over one million individuals. The top 50 least evangelized megacities are all in the 10/40 Window! That fact alone underscores the need for prioritizing the 10/40 Window in our Great Commission efforts. This information came directly from the Joshua Project website.

Ten|Forty Threads is a fundraising organization that exists to support missionaries serving in the 10/40 Window. Several college students living in Auburn, Alabama developed this organization. This organization creates products (apparel, stickers, etc.) from which a large percentage of the proceeds is given to a selected missionary in the 10/40 Window who is in financial need. The name “Ten|Forty Threads” got it’s name after hearing a sermon by the current International Mission Board president, David Platt, which was about weaving gospel threads into your everyday conversations. If you wake up everyday with an intent to share the good news of Christ with someone, then you will be intentional to craft your conversations in a way that leads to sharing the gospel. So while Ten|Forty Threads is meant to raise money for missionaries serving in the 10/40 Window, it is also meant to encourage gospel conversations through wearing the actual products we sell.
