A Burden for the NortheastIn the year 2000, the red highlighted area of our country had over 50,000,000 people. This area contains about 17% of the US population on less than 2% of the nation's land area.
The city of Wilmington is located in the middle of this massive population density. Wilmington is location between Philadelphia, PA and Baltimore, MD. Pray for souls to be saved, and local churches to be planted in the Northeast. |

3,500 Churches Close Their Doors in the US Every YearIf we do not see churches planted in the Northeast we will lose America.
What can you do? Pray for churches to be planted. Give through your local church to support church planters. Get involved in the reproducing of local churches. Go when God calls you! |
