The Prayer Siege Continues! Praying Though The Window III Zeroing in on the peoples of the 10/40 Window ÜEdited by Ian Downs October 1993 Praying Through The Window I The 10/40 Window Countries 20 million intercessors from 105 nations joined in prayer for the 62 countries of the 10/40 Window. Teams from 32 countries prayed on site within the Window. October 1995 Praying Through The Window II The Gateway Cities Over 36 million believers were moved to intercede for 100 “Gateway” cities of the 10/40 Window. Approximately 150,000 churches and ministries joined in the prayer effort. A reported 607 prayer teams traveled to the cities of the 10/40 Window. NOW October 1997 Praying Through The Window III The Unreached Peoples This year millions of intercessors worldwide will unite to pray for the unreached people groups living within the 10/40 Window. Each day, about four “people group clusters” will be targeted. Within each of these clusters are many more ethno-linguistic peoples. Actually, many prayer warriors began this monthly cycle in October of 1996, and have been praying through the calendar each month since that time. It is anticipated that October of 1997 will be the biggest 10/40 Window prayer siege yet. Jesus said, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor...and divides up the spoils.” (Luke 11:21-22) That is why Praying Through The Window III is so important. Without prayer, no amount of mission effort will change the situation in the 10/40 Window. However, with prayer, the armor of resistance, hostility and ignorance can be removed, and the transforming power of the gospel can make contact. ________________________________________________ Seeing the Window Clearly The 10/40 Window is: ÜA region from 10 to 40 degrees north of the equator and spans from North Africa to East Asia.
