Serving With Eyes Wide Open

The following is from David Livermore's book: Serving With Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-term Missions With Cultural Intelligence. Stats only today:

  1. 178,000 convert to Christianity daily;
  2. 28,000 conversions occur in China each day;
  3. Indonesia, largest Islamic country in the world, one million per year convert to Christianity;
  4. India, 100,000 per month convert to Christianity.
Why do most Americans seem to think Christianity is not growing? It is currently the fastest growing world religion. Christianity has a 6.9% growth rate compared with 2.7% for Islam.
Something to think about since the U.S. is not experiencing these things like the rest of the world.
