List of United States cities by population 2013[i]
293 Cities over 100K in population. We should make sure there is astrategic urban church planter in each of these that will identify and start works in needed areas of that city.This would be The 1 in 293 Plan.
An alternative is to establish The 1 in 100 Plan which would target the 100 most populous metropolitan statistical areas with the strategic goal of planting churches where needed in that area.
Both plans would focus on finding where there is a need for an evangelistic, Bible teaching church in a recognized area/neighborhood/community of that metropolitan area.
