Christianity has seen tremendous growth over its 2000-year history.[2] Christianity has recently seen explosive growth outside the Western World.[3] In 2000, there were twice as many non-Western Christians as Western Christians.[4] In 2005, there were four times as many non-Western Christians as there were Western World Christians.[5] There are now more non-Western missionaries than Western missionaries.[6]
In 2011, the American Spectator declared concerning research published in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research: "The report estimates about 80,000 new Christians every day, 79,000 new Muslims every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the West, while religion is thriving in the Global South, where charismatic Christianity is exploding."[7]
Despite strong persecution in the Middle East, thousands of Muslims are turning to Christ.[8]
