The
10/40 Window is a section of the world – between 10 and 40 degrees north of the
equator – that encompasses those nations that have been least reached with the Gospel
message. These nations include China, India, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Sudan and
Nigeria, and more.

“Americans who have not
experienced persecution do not fully understand what it means to have their
lives threatened, homes destroyed, rights violated and loved ones imprisoned,
all because of embracing faith in Jesus Christ,” said K. P. Yohannan, GFA
founder and president, in a statement. “In the 14 countries we serve,
persecution of this sort has become a normal way of life, especially for those
directly involved in mission work.” (ChristianPost.com)

message to America:
Persecution
is already here as Christians are being told to be quiet or be bullied or fined
or fired from their jobs Jesus is not welcome at many jobs, school,
colleges….so my question is. Will the body of Christ here in America, will
you turn your face back to the Lord Jesus Christ, repent, and bring our people back
into the arms of the living Lord. This world may not accept us, but Christ can
lead us out of this darkness.

I
have been praying for the 10/40 window since 1997 and even then, I said this
was eventually going to spread and get worse and later on end up in America as
well.

Just
this week, several people in the 10/40 window have contacted me for prayer and
have given me updates on their ministry in these dangerous areas. They are
living for Christ with all they have. However, when I look here in America, I
do not see many people who would be willing to live for Christ with such
passion and fervor as these missionaries are doing even in the face of danger. We
need to follow their example and give our whole lives to Christ today. Because
what I can see is coming upon the horizon for our country can make or break us.
Persecution of Christians is coming right here in America so it’s time to get
prepared.

Rs 1040 Crores collected from all over the world in name of charity and rehabilitation of orphans used to purchase 2800 acres of land.
According to Kerala home minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, the church, formed under a trust called Gospel for Asia, has received Rs 1,044 crore in foreign donations in the last 15 years. Using that money, the home minister says the church has bought nearly 2,800 acres of land, including a 2,200-acre rubber estate. Worse, the seven-member Gospel for Asia trust is found to have been packed with Yohannan’s family members, including his wife, children and brothers. “It’s all highly irregular and unlawful,” Balakrishnan says, explaining that under the law, a family can hold only 15 acres. The revenue department has been asked to “take over” 580 acres, pending an inquiry into how the “church had bought the 2,200-acre rubber estate from a private company when the estate was on leasehold and thus not saleable,” he says.
