There is an area in which Christian missionaries have had it hard to make any progress in the area of missionary work and it is the area given the term by Christian missionaries, the 10/40. An area that stretches from western Africa to Japan. This is the area in which there is a number of countries in which Islam is in the majority. It is this area of the world, in which Islam is located is what is driving Islam at the present time with its growth in the numbers of births. The 10/40 area and the west is where the missionaries from the global south nations in which Christianity is in a time of growth is going to be the new mission fields for the 21st century.
