Discipleship Opportunities in India: A Statistical Overview

India presents a vast and untapped opportunity for discipleship, with:

- 60% of the population residing in 15 states with less than 1% Christianity, posing a significant challenge for Gospel outreach.

- 40% of the population comprising youth (below 25 years), with a limited number of ministers engaging with this demographic.

- India hosting the world's largest youth population, making it a critical mission field. Winning this generation for Christ has the potential to transform the nation.

- 2,445 unreached people groups, with India accounting for one-third of the world's unreached groups.

- Rich linguistic heritage, with 122 major languages and 1,599 other languages spoken across the country. While English and Hindi are widely spoken, linguistic diversity poses a significant challenge for discipleship efforts.

- Massive population, accounting for one-sixth of the world's population, with an estimated *142.76 crores (1.4276 billion) people as of April 2023.

These statistics underscore the immense potential for discipleship in India, as well as the complexities and challenges involved in reaching this vast and diverse population.
