In recent years, Christianity has seen a rapid growth in Africa.<ref>[http://gratefultothedead.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/the-african-apostles-how-christianity-exploded-in-20th-century-africa/ The African apostles: How Christianity exploded in 20th-century Africa]</ref> See: [[Global Christianity]] ]]
In 2011, ''USA Today'' published an article entitled ''Study: Christianity grows exponentially in Africa'' which declared:
{{Cquote|Meanwhile, the faith has grown exponentially in sub-Saharan Africa, from just 9% of the population in 1910 to 63% today. Nigeria, home to more than 80 million Christians, has more Protestants than Germany, where the Protestant Reformation began.
"As a result of historic missionary activity and indigenous Christian movements by Africans, there has been this change from about one in 10 (sub-Saharan Africans) identifying with Christianity in 1910 to about six in 10 doing so today," Hackett said.<ref>[https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/religion/story/2011-12-20/christianity-growth-africa-europe/52125920/1 'Study: Christianity grows exponentially in Africa''], USA Today, 2011</ref>}}
Between 2000 and 2020, the continent of Africa had more than 37,000 new Christians every day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.christianpost.com/voices/christianity-is-growing-faster-than-any-time-in-history-why-is-the-church-in-europe-america-declining.html|title=Christianity is growing faster than any time in history.
