CONFRONTING THE
GREATEST

MISSION CHALLENGE

February 2018

An Amazing Fact: Hinduism, the largest religion
in India, is also the third largest in the world—after
Christianity and Islam. Because Hinduism is a form
of pantheism, Hindus can choose from nearly 330

idols can be found everywhere in temples dedicated to
everything from elephants to monkeys and even rats!

How can we reach the people of India for Jesus Christ?

Did you know that one in every five people on earth lives in India? Even though its
landmass is only a third as large as the United States, India is projected to soon be the

this mushrooming South Asian civilization.

We have an amazing opportunity today to answer God’s call by proclaiming His
last-day message to multiplied millions in India who have never heard Bible truth. If we
are going to obey the Great Commission and “go into all the world” (Mark 16:15), we must
not overlook this place—where only two percent proclaim the name of Jesus.

Making this task even more challenging

missionaries from conducting public
evangelism.

From 1999 to 2006, Amazing Facts

evangelistic meetings and planted many
churches in India. Thousands were baptized
during these programs, but now this kind of
