India the Challenge
The challenge of reaching the people of India with the gospel of Jesus Christ:
Within 20 years India will be the world's most populous nation.
There are more people in India than in North and South America combined.
While the Christian church in India is estimated to be growing by 5,000 people per day, the nation grows by 55,000 per day.
India contains the largest block of un-reached people in the world.
India is one third smaller than the size of the United States geographically, and four times bigger than the United States in terms of population
A LOOK AT INDIA
Many nations (people groups) make
up India's 1,040,000,000 people.
Some 3,000 people groups in India
speak at least 1,652 languages.
Beyond the complexity of language
exists different religions, varied
cultures and a society divided by
caste-together creating a grid of
barriers to the spread of the Gospel.
Undertaking the religion of India's
1040 million people is not easy.
Regionalism and religious
fundamentalism are on the increase.
On the other hand, India has a
sleeping giant of 40 million
Christians. Pray for a revival among
them and for a frontier mission
vision.
INDIA'S RELIGION
Hindus 65.0% ********************************
Muslims 15.0% ********
Indigenous 12.0% ******
Christians 4.0% **
Sikhs 2.0% *
Buddhist 0.7% *
Other 1.3% *
BARRIERS
The Indian church is thriving in some people groups but may not spread beyond that group.
Why? Because of barriers such as language, culture, and caste. Furthermore, most Christians
lack the vision to reach beyond their own group.
Cross-cultural mission work is required to penetrate each people group and start a church that
can then make the Gospel available to the whole group.
BREAKING BARRIERS
Most people groups in India have not had a chance to hear and do not have access to the Gospel.
The purpose of missionaries is to go where the church is not present rather than expand the
church where it already exists. Some so-called mission work in India is really evangelism and is
growing the church in an already reached people group. This is good, but it does not directly
affect unreached groups.
REACHED AND UNREACHED
The world's highest concentration of Christians is found in some areas of India, and yet India
also has vast areas of more unreached groups-people with no access to the Gospel-than any
other country. One such area is the Punjab-home of the Sikhs. Punjab was closed to foreigners
until recently due to unrest arising from the efforts of some to have Punjab recognized as an
independent homeland. Today there is much opportunity for Christian outreach.
MISSIONARY VISION
It is not enough for the church to grow within a people group. There must also be obedience to
the Great Commission. In the past, progress toward world evangelization has been slowed
because many missionaries failed to establish mission-minded churches. What happens when
mission fields become mission-sending churches? A terrific example can be seen in the Mizo
peoples of India. Missionaries took the Gospel to them 100 years ago, and now this group is
sending over 1,700 missionaries of its own. The best way to reach the peoples of India is to
mobilize the existing Christian groups to be like the Mizos.
