As global urbanization continues in the twenty-first century, Christians cannot ignore the importance of cities in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to every people in every nation on earth. United intercession is an essential part of this mission, and every Christian can be involved.
This book provides essential, up-to-date information on one hundred key cities in the world's least evangelized area-the window that extends from West Africa across Asia, between 10 and 40 degrees north of the equator. Whether you are new to missions and global prayer initiatives or have been involved for years, this book will help you pray effectively for the most strategic missions areas in the world.
