Statistics about the Growth of the Church around the World

In his book Witness Essentials, Dan Meyer lists some encouraging statistics about the growth of the church around the world:

• In 1900 Korea had no Protestant church. Today, there are over 7,000 churches in just the city of Seoul, South Korea.
• At the end of the 19th century, the southern portion of Africa was only 3 percent Christian. Today, 63 percent of the population is Christian, while membership in the churches in Africa is increasing by 34,000 people per day.
