About This Project
In recent years, local believers in the predominantly rural state of J have been paralyzed into inactivity because of increased persecution from the fundamentalist Hindu government and the region’s non-believers. In the past two years, however, believers have been trained to share their faith and have broadly sown the gospel in J-Town and nearby rural communities. Lost people have come to faith, creating opportunities to start new churches. Your gift will enable long-term workers to train 500 church planters over the next three years in urban J-Town using the “4-fields process of church planting”. As healthy churches are planted in urban neighborhoods, the urban-dwelling new believers will host/lead training in their native villages, taking the gospel into rural communities that are harder for foreign workers to reach.
The largely rural state of J in South Asia is home to over thirty million people, comprised of Hindus, Muslims, tribals, Christians, and a handful of other minority religions. Only 4.3 percent of the population claims to be Christian and only a small percentage of that evangelical. Your partnership and support will help start a movement of pioneering gospel work in the rural areas that will usher thousands of new believers into Christ’s kingdom.
Greetings from the J-Town Gospel Push team! Thank you for participating in our work here in South Asia through the J-Town Gospel Push project.
Our focus on this city began in 2019. Initially, your gifts enabled us to host vision-casting and training programs. Through these events, we met a few like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ who continue to partner with us to reach the city with the gospel.
With several faithful couples, additional Christian workers, and a few others who are proven, consistent co-laborers, we are systematically spreading into new neighborhoods and planting house churches. Our goal is to raise local witnesses and strengthen disciples who will join us in the task of reaching the rest of the city. With this ministry underway, we are extending our outreach into two other cities in the state.
Prayer requests:
Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and partnership! Your prayers and gifts are truly making a difference through this project! Please prayerfully consider making another gift to support this ministry in 2023, so we can bring the gospel to more South Asians.
In the next five years, a globalization goal of all IMB workers is to mobilize 500 local believers to become global missionary partners serving on IMB teams.
