  • Biggest Church Planting Needs Among Unreached/Least-Reached in Metro NY
    Biggest Church Planting Needs Among Unreached/Least-Reached in Metro NY Below is a prioritized list of church planting needs in Metro New York among unreached and least-reached people groups—those groups that have little or no indigenous community of Christians to spread the gospel to their people and others. The list looks specifically at peoples’ locations within Metro New York that are strategic for reaching their communities. The assumption is that, at least in the 1st generation of Christians, peoples-specific churches should be started that will most effectively spread the gospel to the rest of their people and near-culture people groups. It is also assumed that the gospel will spread most rapidly among a people if the churches started primarily consist of converts and not just Christian-background people with a similar culture or language. As a result, we have not counted churches as started among a people group, even if a church has started that primarily consists of people from the same country and speak the same language, if the church primarily has Christian-background members that are removed from the dominant religious and social structure of a given people group (e.g., there are around a dozen Pakistani churches in Metro New York but only a handful of Muslim- background Christians in these churches because they are so far removed from the dominant Pakistani Muslim culture). Priority in the list is given to those communities of people groups that have little or no engagement with the gospel, that have no churches, and that have no one focused on starting a church among them.
