here are 543 cities with a million inhabitants or more. In these cities, there is an average of 1 Adventist for every 89,000 inhabitants. The global average is 1 Adventist for every 358 inhabitants.

Adventist Mission’s three greatest challenges are the 10/40 Window, the Urban Window, and the Post-Christian Window. Come n See Café, an urban center of influence in Taiwan, is helping to address the first two challenges.

The 10/40 Window is an imaginary rectangle between the 10th and 40th parallels north of the equator. It’s home to some 60 percent of the world’s population, the poorest people on earth, and most major world religions.

Only 2.6 million Adventist church members are here (12 percent of the world’s membership), while the rest of the world has more than 19 million.

The Urban Window is growing rapidly worldwide. There are 543 cities with a million inhabitants or more. In these cities, there is an average of 1 Adventist for every 89,000 inhabitants. The global average is 1 Adventist for every 358 inhabitants. 49 cities of a million or more people have fewer than 10 Adventists, and 43 have no Adventist presence.

Please help Global Mission plant new groups of believers among unreached people groups through the ministry of Global Mission pioneers and urban centers of influence. One hundred percent of your donation goes to the front lines of mission!
