The Origin
Our Story
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:14, NKJV
In the early 1990s, Luke Walters and Brent Hornsby began meeting weekly for prayer. They kept a 12x12 world map in Brent’s office and together committed to impacting nations globally.
In 1995, Brent was diagnosed with cancer. Before his passing, he asked Luke to carry forward their shared vision. Luke made that commitment, and MAP1040 was born.
MAP stands for Missions Affecting People. 1040 refers to the 1040 Window, the geographic band spanning North Africa through Asia where the majority of the world’s unreached people groups live. For over 20 years, the team has been reaching and sharing Christ’s message in this region and beyond.
