(Tampa, Fla.,) --- In keeping with her mission to transform lives, heal hearts, and win souls, Pastor Paula White of Paula White Ministries (PWM) has partnered with Master’s Touch Ministries Global to provide humanitarian relief and the Gospel message to impoverished countries located within the “10/40 Window” – a rectangular region that spans across countries from western Africa to eastern Asia, and is home to over 82% of the world’s poorest people.
While every major non-Christian religion is headquartered in the 10/40 Window – Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and a variety of indigenous religions, as well as millions of people whose beliefs are unaccounted for – most of the people in this region will never have a chance to hear the Gospel without missionary intercession.
"Paula White Ministries partnership with Master’s Touch Ministries Global and its founder, Dr. Patricia D. Bailey, will inable hands-on ministering to this region of the world with the Gospel and practical survival needs," says Susan Zahn, President of WDC Media, PWM publicist.
"With PWM’s support," says Dr. Bailey, “we can provide clean water to villages…educate our Palestinian children in the Jordan refugee camps…provide humanitarian relief for the refugees of Western Sahara who have been stranded in the scorching desert for several years…these are just a few examples of some of the outreaches that MTM is committed to.”
Additionally, PWM’s support enables MTM to continue to train world-wide leaders for Christ through its Global Impact Leadership Training Center, which offers an on-site six-month intensive training program designed to “equip stateside leaders and foreign nationals in Apostolic Missions by using a ‘hands-on’
A 1990 study of the 10/40 Window countries – which include over 50 countries including Afghanistan, Algeria, Cambodia, China, Cypress, Egypt, Eritrea, Gambia, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Vietnam – found that in the densely populated window, where roughly two-thirds of the world lives:
82% of its inhabitants fall into the category of the poorest of the world’s poor (per capita GNP less than US $500 per year)
84% of its inhabitants suffer from the world’s lowest quality of life (life expectancy, infant mortality and literacy)
It is the hub of the world’s major non-Christian religions (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism)
It is home to close to 100% of the world’s inhabitants who are both most-poor and have the least access to Christian resources
It is the region of the world that has received the least Christian resource investment, and the least sharing of the Christian message
