Our ultimate goal is that everyone in the 10/40 window has the opportunity to hear and respond to the hope found in Christ alone.

WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?

10/40 Hope is a non-profit Christian organization. Below is a quick reference to what we believe as a Christian organization. If you would like to know our full doctrinal statement or have specific questions, feel free to email us at info@1040hope.org.

  • We believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority in the Christian’s life. That we should trust it as God’s inspired word and take hope in its message.

  • We believe that Jesus is the son of God and God with us. He came and lived a sinless life, something that nobody else could do and bore the punishment of humanity’s sin upon the cross. He then rose from the dead, displaying his power over death itself, and offering the same hope to those who place their faith in him.

  • We believe that salvation is found in Jesus alone. We are saved by grace through faith in Him only. Therefore, our good works can not save us. They will never take away our sins and make us righteous before God the Father. But, when we place our faith in Christ, he begins to work in us to make us more like Him.

  • We believe that Jesus has given the Church a mission – to take the hope of the Gospel to all nations so that the hope of salvation would be presented to them as well.

WHO IS 10/40 HOPE?

10/40 Hope is a team. A team of individuals from around the world who are working toward one goal – for the nations to hope in Christ. We are missionaries, visionaries, pastors, donors. We are all who contribute to this cause to bring hope to the 10/40 window.

Our Staff

While not all areas in the 10/40 window are dangerous, there are many areas where Christians experience persecution for their beliefs. Because of this, we aspire to protect not just those living in these areas, but also our staff who travel to those areas. Some pictures and names will not be provided in an effort to protect those individuals. We do NOT use pictures of the faces of our team who may travel to a location where they may interact with Christians who experience such persecutions as a precaution.
