2000 New Churches Needed!

The vision of Asia International Mission is to help plant 2000 additional churches in the area surrounding Tenali, India. Why so many churches? Over the past decade much has been reported about the potential for an "awakening" of the low caste of India. The majority of these people are low caste, and very few of these villages have been reached with the gospel. India is one of the greatest harvest fields in history!

Do the Math
Doing some math, we estimate that if only 10% of these one million people would turn to Christ in the next ten years, that an additional 2000 churches would be needed to disciple them. This is a very conservative figure based on the average village church of 50 people. And this is only one small area of India. AIM's goal of planting 2000 churches aligns with God's plan for the low caste of India.

Where There is Smoke There is Fire
One example of these massive conversions can be seen in the state of Orissa in Eastern India. In one district near the area, where the Australian missionary Graham Staines was martyred in 1999, the Christian population has more than doubled in the last ten years. So many have been turning to Christ, that approximately 100,000 Christians had to flee their homes and thousands of others were murdered in the recent persecutions.

We Must Go to Them
We can't assume that the low caste people of India are able to hear the gospel without someone telling them. Churches must not only send the gospel out to every unreached village (Mark 16:15-17), but they must also make disciples of the new believers (Matt 28:19-20).

Prayer Points:
Many more national workers will answer God's call to share the gospel
Churches in the US will commit to financing the building of new churches ($5000 per building)
