India’s Muslims number 190 million, making it the largest Muslim country in the world.
As minorities in a Hindu-dominated country, many of India’s Muslims live in urban slums.
In spite of the great poverty found in India (it holds one-third of the world’s poor), the nation is waking up to advances in technology and global business. Many describe this as a new dawn full of opportunity for innovation and business.
Communities of Frontiers workers are already established in several major Indian cities, yet hundreds more field workers are needed to reach the country’s 190 million Muslims.
Frontiers teams are poised to welcome new workers, offering them intensive language courses, coaching for healthy field life, and community-based apprenticeships. These communities serve as landing pads from which newcomers can launch into fourteen identified strategic cities where there remains no Gospel witness.
Please join us in praying
· For God to send more cross-cultural workers with business backgrounds, willing to live inconveniently in this densely-populated, culturally dynamic country.
· For a unified, national church in the South of India, empowered by a fresh love and new thinking to reach Muslim peoples with the Gospel.
· That national believers would courageously serve Muslims in their own country.
· For new teams to land in the 14 identified Strategic Cities in India.
