- We (the leadership team) all grew up within 30 miles or less of the area, and have a calling and desire to see people finding their way back to God through salvation in Jesus
- The population within the 15 mile radius was determined to be over 258,000 and growing
- If 1/3 of those folks attend a religious service (Christian or not) once very 6 months (research according to Barna) that means there are 172,000 people who are not finding their way back to God through Jesus within 15 miles of the location!
“Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” John 4:35
- If we share the Good News of forgiveness of sins and salvation in Jesus Christ with only 1% (with a much larger vision) of that population, 1720 people will have heard the Gospel.
“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.” Luke 15:7
