The best starting place for missions research is Global Mapping International .  Here you will find links to so many other research sites.  Check out their "Light the Window" global prayer map that shows the least evangelized nations and populations of their "strategic towns" in the 10/40 window. 
 
       AIMS has put together a missions resource guide, " Missions Resources From AIMS ," that is used in Dr. Foltz' classes.  It is an extensive and helpful listing of print and web resources.
 
      The World Fact Book has a great overview of each country including geography, people, and government as does the Britannica Online database available from the Library Database homepage .  For yet more country information try the Library of Congress Country Studies site which focuses primarily on lesser known areas of the world.
