How does a visual representation of the world affect your overall world view?

Alexand Scottdiscuss the spiritual and practical significance of maps in missionary work, exploring how maps not only display geography but also influence how Christians perceive the world’s spiritual landscape. They trace the history of missionary mapping from figures like David Livingstone and William Carey, reflecting on how visual tools like the 10/40 Window have historically mobilized believers toward unreached regions.

Alex and Scott emphasize that maps do more than expand awareness—they refine our worldview, highlighting both the vast need for the gospel and the ongoing progress of Christianity globally. They also stress the importance of using maps not only globally but locally—to visualize one’s own city, region, and immediate mission field and argue for a balanced view that celebrates where the gospel has flourished while still acknowledging areas of spiritual darkness.
