Mission
Planting Churches is an overflow desire of Christ Jesus to see lives transformed by the Gospel by saving and reaching the lost souls.
Planting Churches is the mission startegy and model we see in New Testament ‘ The way of Christ and the Apostles”
Christ Gospel Ministries mission model and pattern is to start exists to establish a community of gospel-centered followers of Jesus Christ.
In the late 1980’s, Louis Bush coined the phrase, “the 10/40 Window”. The 10/40 Window is an area of the world that contains the largest population of non-Christians in the world. The area extends from 10 degrees to 40 degrees North of the equator, and stretches from North Africa across to China.
More about 10/40 window…
There are many reasons why Christians should be focusing their prayers, sending their best missionaries, and giving their funds to this area of the world. The great commission says:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)
95% of the unreached people groups of the world live in the 10/40 Window. (An “unreached people group” is a segment of the population to which because of too few missionaries, the Gospel cannot spread along natural lines without encountering barriers of understanding, language, social hierarchy, politics, culture, history, geography, prejudice, etc. They have no community of Christians able to lead them to salvation or sometimes even to a slight knowledge of Jesus Christ).
- More than 4.1 billion of the world’s 5.6 billion people live here.
- Including 87 percent of the worlds poorest of the poor.
- It is estimated that 1.6 billion of these unreached people have never had the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ - not even once!
- Most of these nations are closed to western missionaries.
- Only 20% of all mission work takes place in the 10/40 window.
Facts about the 10/40 window:
- 9 of the top 10 worst countries in terms of persecution.
- Witnessing the Christian Gospel means death in many of the 65 countries represented.
- It is the darkest and most inhospitable territory to the cause of Christ and represents the greatest remaining stronghold of Satan.
- More than 1.3 Billion people under the influence of Communism.
- It contains over 70% of the world’s people, but only 9% of the missionaries laboring.
- Less than 1/2 of 1% of the budget of our churches goes to reach the 10/40 window.
- As we can see, only 20% of the mission activity in the world is directed toward 97% of the least evangelized countries on the earth.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
Hello dear in Christ,
My name is Daniel R.Kanti,and living at Andra Pradesh in India. Would you please allow me to share some words with you?.I have your information while searching internet,please pardon me without your permission Iam using it and writing to you.I am doing it prayerfully and continue to pray for you and ministry.
Once upon a time, I was a filthy sinner and cruel in doing bad things and I used to threaten the christian people.My heart was completely became dark and aimless.
In 2003 a christian friend forced me to attend a small christian meeting but I attended unwillingly but it meant to me great change in my life. There I heard a heart-touching words from the Bible on (Mark 7:20-23and 2nd. Corin.5:17) about new life in Christ. I so trembled there by hearing the message and felt that God spoke to me. Then I so became interested to know more about God so I bought a small New Testament and read a many times carefully and realized that I was a great sinner and need to be saved. I found the savior in the words and confessed all my sins and accepted Jesus Christ into my life then I was baptized by immersion according to the Bible ( Acts 2:38, 41, 8:38-39 and Mark 16:16). What a joy it is to find Christ and serve His church. Since then the Lord had been filling my heart with his great joy and peace.I hope you have the same,God’s joy in this filthy world. I deeply felt sorry for I had wasted my precious time with the filthy world but now my deep interest increases more and more to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
With much interest I prayed to God and asked Him that I want serve You Lord then Lord spoke to me to serve the poor and unreached.Since then I had been in a noble job of preaching the word of God, and winning souls for his kingdom. I am preaching and teaching the word of God to the unreached and back-word community areas which do not have electricity and proper roads where people are illiterate,unhealthy worshipping idols,evel spirits and trees,snakes and stones. I have no any Travel facilities and I walk few miles every day to preach the Christ. I need a small moped to reach more villages for Christ.People have been responding to the gospel and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. We have small house-churches worship of the living God. I pray and have great zeal to cover many more villages win for the Lord.The work have been very hard,challenging and been very difficult with several trails and pressing needs and sometimes with having no a single meal in aday.Iam speaking truth with you as God’s saint.I desperately need your prayers and proper encouragement with unconditional love of Jesus Christ. .”Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;the Lord delievers him in times of trouble.Ps.41:1. God has enabled me to work hard and abled to start 4 churches, which did not named. I wish to ask you to name these as you wish and God leads. These shall be yours resulted of your prayers. You may come to us at any time and preach the word and we shall arrange the programme for you, as you wish.
Could you please pray for me and service of God.I need the prayers of saints of Christ like you. If you will to support me please do so with God’s love.You may please ask any questions and for more information about me and work. Thank you.
In his work
Daniel R.Kanti,
Evangelist.
