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.
