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.
