Harsh Reality 

Population of NYC Metro: 20.1 Million People
 Lostness % : 96 % of population = 19.2 million
 Tipping Point: 10 % of lostness = 1,920,000

God has given us vision to see all 19.2 million lost people have a chance to hear the gospel.

The need is overwhelming.

Indeed, this vision is so big that it drives us to seek out a strategy beyond our abilities and resources.

Yet we have a Biblical example and model for reaching a City like NYC in Acts 19-20 in how God used Paul and others to ignite a multiplying movement that reached a tipping point (10% or more).

This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.

Acts 19:10

All (2.6 million plus) heard the word of the Lord in 2 years!


The Strategy

What’s it going to take to reach so many in New York City?

Returning to the numbers above using the model of Acts 19-20, we learn that:

Multiplying disciples needed = 10 % of target = 192,000 (To Get to the Tipping Point)

Churches needed = laborers / 15 church size = 12,800

Leaders needed = churches x 2 elders = 25,600

Like these leaders in Acts 19, we must return to the model of Jesus and multiplying methods.
