Some facts and figures about the state of Uttar Pradesh, North India:

 

Population: 174 million (whole of UK is 61 million)

 

Area in sq km: 240,928 (UK is 244,820 – so approx the same)

 

Density of population: 689 per sq km (UK is 246 per sq km)

 

809 community development blocks

 

97,260 villages

 

72% of the people live in the villages

 

Pray for

 

- God’s kingdom to be established

 

- The National and State leaders

 

- Justice and liberty for the poor

 

It is against this backdrop that the 2020 movement is gaining momentum. It is not so much an organisation as a vision. The desire is to see 20% of the population of Uttar Pradesh as followers of Christ by the year 2020. Growth since the early 90’s has gone from around 0.1% to around 1% today, so they are praying this growth will, in God’s grace, prove to be exponential.

 

]]> staggering growth http://www.radstock.org/pray-with-us/staggering-growth/ http://www.radstock.org/pray-with-us/staggering-growth/ Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:58:26 GMT The growth of the church in Uttar Pradesh (UP) India is staggering. To put it in perspective, there are 174 million people living in this one state (the UK is about 61 million). The area is 240,000 sq km (whole of UK is about the same at 244,000 sq km) and the population density is 689 per sq km (compare with the UK's 246 per sq km)

In the early 90's only approx 0.1% of the population were Christians. Now it is said to be 1% - quite some growth. Churches are starting all over the place, and especially in the villages, which is significant since that's where 72% of the population live.  

Give thanks for this significant growth and for new brothers and sisters in India.  Pray that their faith will deepen and their love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight.

Tonight we got official letter from land organization. They told us to leave the land today! We took lower. Land organization cannot do this without judgment decision and paying us all money that we used for building. But there is so big corruption and many people like to get our land.

Dear friends

We needs prayers for situation with church land. Tonight we got official letter from land organization. They told us to leave the land today! We checked the law. Land organization cannot do this without judgment decision and paying us all money that we used for building.

 

But there is so big corruption and many people like to get our land. Few days ago one boss asked us to pay him personally $500 for one paper. Everything is in God’s hand. Pray for His protection in this situation. Also we need money for legal situation. Situation in the country is very difficult this summer. Government commission closed all churches in our city (except us and missionary school). Their registration papers were not in right condition. They were checking us 3 weeks ago during 2 days but we had enough of all papers. Government here thinks that there are too many churches and made commission to check all churches in the country. 

 

God bless you, R

In addition, two other team members, Matt and Greg were up the mountain pouring concrete in the rain. All good work, all needing to be done, all for the glory of Living God! Not only was the Word taught but it was also demonstrated by some of the team members who visited a family Abi has been working with for 4 years now. Their hearts were broken by the darkness they faced. One members said,"I didn't have a box for something like what I faced today before today." Pray for wisdom for us as we address the tragedy and despair that is present and unchanging in that family. Please keep praying for the team.

Pray that due honour would be given to those in authority (Romans 13), and intercession made for them (1 Timothy 2), for the benefit of all, and for the flourishing of the Gospel. Mongolia is a strategic nation now.  It has a potential for influence far in excess of its tiny 2.7 million population.  Pray that influence yields a great harvest within, and well beyond, her borders!
