“Our vision is based not on where we are, but where we are not.”

GO into ALL the World..
What is 4K?
- 4K is a global mapping project aimed at responding to the world’s spiritual and physical needs more strategically.
- With the vision of reaching every person on Earth, 4K has created a framework called Omega Zones.
- The world always has roughly 4,000 Omega Zones, hence the name 4K.
- Through the Omega Zone mapping grid, Christian workers will have a better understanding of where we are and where we are not.
- 4K is designed to provide strategically relevant information to everyone from the individual responding to a call to missions organizations and denominations planning large-scale strategic initiatives.
- 4K provides support in taking the gospel to all people, to all places and into all spheres of all societies.

4K Concepts
 There are four basic concepts that are foundational for 4K:
1) A Biblical World View
2) Call to ALL - It is the call of ALL Christians to actively participate in taking the gospel to ALL people, to ALL places, and to ALL spheres of ALL societies.
3) Where we are not - "suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?" Luke 15 v 4 NIV. As a very practical aspect of our calling "to go into all the world," we must focus primarily not on where we are, but on where we are not.
4) ABC - 369 - This is a new approach to the use of geography. Population limits are used to re-organize existing civil divisions into a unified system of areas called "Omega Zones."
- In an area where the gospel is not available (World A), the population is limited to 3 million.
- In an area where the gospel is partially available (World B), the population is limited to 6 million.
- In an area where the gospel is readily available (World C), the population is limited to 9 million.
Omega Zones are used to target the needs of the world. These are the key concepts of how Omega Zones are formed...
1.) Populations - A nations’s population is key to deciding how an Omega Zone is formed.
2.) Divisions - Existing geopolitical divisions determine the boundaries of an Omega Zone.
3.) Reachedness - A nation’s ABC status gives ‘availability of the Gospel’ information, which determines the population threshold for an Omega Zone.
4.) Spiritual Life Needs - At an Omega Zone level, we look at the spiritual needs, like percent evangelized, number of Christian workers, etc.
5.) Basic Life Needs - At an Omega Zone level, we look at physical needs, like access to clean water, infant mortality, etc..
6.) Total Human Needs - Combining spiritual needs, physical needs, and population, we see where there are more needs, more people, and less Gospel.
