Rick Grace invites two missionaries back, to go further detail on the 10/40 Window.
The 10/40 Window refers to an area that covers North Africa, the Middle East and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. Within the 10/40 Window are the largest people groups unreached with the gospel message.

Scott McNay hosts a conversation with his friend, and fellow Central Christian College of the Bible alumni, Matt Welch. Matt is currently a Hospice Chaplain, and founded a ministry to serve young women in Uganda, which you can learn more about by visiting 91four.org.
Matt now attends an Eastern Orthodox church in Myrtle Beach, and together with Scott, they discuss Christmas, and Nicolas, from a broader perspective.

Scott McNay and Drew McClellan are back to talk about books, resources, and podcasts they would recommend.
