Missionary John Online | Bible Studies & Missions Training

If you have spent any time around missions conferences, mission agencies or prayer gatherings, you have probably heard the phrase "the 10/40 Window." It is one of the best-known terms in modern world missions. But what exactly is it? Where is it? Why do so many missionaries and churches focus on it? And is it truly biblical to prioritise one region of the world over another? In this study we will explain what the 10/40 Window is, look at its history, geography and needs, and, most importantly, ground the whole discussion in what the Bible teaches about God's heart for all nations. We will also see practical ways every believer can take part: by praying, giving, sending, going and mobilising others. New to Missionary John Online?

Ephesians 5:16 says, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (KJV) Few phrases in the Bible are quoted as often in sermons, devotionals and conversations about productivity.

Matthew 7:7 is one of the most loved promises in the Bible: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." (KJV). Millions of believers have prayed these words in sickness, in need, in confusion and in hope. Yet many also wonder: Does this mean God gives me anything I ask for? Why do some prayers seem unanswered? And what is the difference between asking, seeking and knocking? In this study we will look carefully at what Jesus meant, the context in which He said it, the meaning of the original wording, and how you can apply this verse to your prayer life today.

Primary Scripture: Matthew 5–7 “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him.” — Matthew 5:1 There are some passages in the Bible that we read quickly because we have heard them many times. Then there are passages that cause us to stop, examine our hearts, and ask difficult questions about the way we are living. The Sermon on the Mount , recorded in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, belongs to that second category.

If you have ever finished praying and wondered whether anyone was really listening, you are not alone. Most believers do not struggle to say prayers. We struggle to pray — really pray, the way Jesus prayed. There is a difference, and the disciples felt it long before we did.
