GOSPEL REVIVAL MINISTRIES YEAR-END FIELD REPORT FROM 2022
ANNUAL FIELD REPORT (PARTIAL)
Thank you GRM co-laborers for a great 2022. This is YOUR victory report. God gets ALL the glory but we give you thanks for allowing the Lord to work through you.
GRM has been known as a sower, harvester, and preserver through the years, as Jesus commanded. The Lord blesses longevity. After four decades (43 years) of nonstop going, plowing, sowing, and reaping the harvest now is CONTINUAL! We seek to preserve the harvest with Great Commission Churches.
This small document REQUIRED two months OF LABOR. It is highly abbreviated due to several sensitive areas that we work in. All the tribes (names) of Odisha were removed, plus other resticted areas. You can call us or email us if you have interest.
Some of the works we (YOU) have started from scratch. Others we joined to help and become a blessing!
If you would like more information, contact us anytime – John & Teresa Musser and the GRM team.

What is the 10/40 Window?
The 10/40 Window is a rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia between 10 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitude. This area is often called “The Resistant Belt” and includes the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.
Definition: A people group can be unreached for multiple reasons. For one, physical barriers, such as mountains or villages located in remote areas, make it difficult for evangelists to access these people. Then, there are cultural and political barriers.
According to mission leaders, there are approximately 17,428 unique people groups in the world with 7,400+ of them considered unreached (over 42% of the world’s population!). The vast majority (85%) of these least reached groups exist in the 10/40 window and less than 10% of missionary work is done among these people.
