4/14 window… a possible new focus for Christian Missions? While the 10/40 paradigm refers to a geographical area (and home to largest population of non-Christians in the world), the 4/14 Window concerns itself with children and youth between the ages of four and 14 who are growing up outside of the church. Luis Bush, international facilitator of Transform World Connections, coined the term "10/40" window two decades ago to refer to regions of the eastern hemisphere located between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator. Statistics show high percentages of teens and young adults ages 15 to 24 are departing from the Christian values they were raised with.
