Why we focus on 110 cities<\/h1>

The Bible speaks frequently of cities, and of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem.<\/p><\/figure><\/header>

\n\n\n\n

Scattered throughout this guide are a number of highlighted cities, which are a sample of the 19 cities in Asia with Hindu-majority populations. If you click on those links, it will take you to the profiles for the city on the 110 \u0936\u0939\u0930<\/a> \u0938\u093e\u0907\u091f\u0964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 110 Cities strategic focus has been born from a recognition of a significant global shift towards urbanization and God\u2019s heart for cities.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
More than half<\/span>of the world\u2019s population lives in urban areas today<\/span><\/div>\n
Two-thirds<\/span>projected to live in cities by 2050<\/span><\/div>\n
3 million<\/span>people move to cities every week<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central to this prayer and missions initiative is Psalm 110:1-3, which provides \u201cmarching orders\u201d for the people of God to \u201cvolunteer freely\u201d and join in asking God to save the nations. This invitation to labor with Jesus through prayer is rooted in His worthiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the cities were chosen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The selection of the 110 cities is highly strategic, driven by several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The most unreached megacities<\/h3>

These cities contain languages spoken by 97% of the world\u2019s remaining unreached peoples.<\/p><\/div>\n

Chosen with movement leaders<\/h3>

Selected through consultations with church planting movement leaders, as places strategic for reaching residents and as springboards for movements to spread.<\/p><\/div>\n

Where movements train and send<\/h3>

The least reached people groups<\/h3>

People groups were chosen using language databases and the World Christian Database\u2019s list of 257 groups with the most unevangelized individuals: together, more than 80% of all unevangelized people.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n

The aim is a city-wide Gospel Kingdom movement: the body of Christ growing faster than the population and impacting the whole city for Christ.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an organic phenomenon where the Holy Spirit moves across the entire city. Thank you for joining millions of others in prayer and disciple making among those living in these global cities.<\/p>\n\n\n
