Capital Baptist Deaf College - International Cities Population

The purpose of this information is to encourage missionaries to the Deaf start their missionary works in the big cities first. It is biblical principle to establish churches in big cities so they can have greater opportunities to send out more pastors in lesser cities. Paul established churches in Lystra, Paphos, Ephesus, Troas, Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens, and Corinth, which all are strategic locations – commercial centers, political centers, and military centers. It is wiser to start a school and bible college in big cities. Many deaf people tend to live in big cities due to better opportunities for job and social with other deaf people.

We ask you to pray about strategic locations and be willing to accept greater challenges the big cities offer. Greater challenges can result in a richer harvest.
