Prayers to Christians worldwide. Stay strong in the Lord brothers and sisters. All glory to you Lord.

[James C. Bennett]

"This single church increased its membership “from zero to 500,000 million in 100 years."

500,000 million = 500,000 X 1,000,000 = 500,000,000,000 = 500 billion.

The Earth's population alone is about 6 billion.

A very careless typo, for sure.

Fujian Province in China is approaching 25% Christian. My great-great-grandfather was a missionary there and would be well pleased to see the fruits of his efforts.

evangelical Christians now number as many as 688 million people – reaching strategic mass in such countries as China, India, Indonesia and Nigeria...

I'm quite familiar with Indonesia. Since its beginning, Christians already comprised of about 10% of its population. Like in many other places, many people who 'converted' to evangelical churches actually were from 'traditional' denominations. I don't recall any data about mass conversion from Islam (or Buddhism/ Hinduism) to Christianity in that country. If anything, I see many stories about Christian public figures who converted to Islam. (Including a publisher of a Catholic 'newspaper', a former minister, and a handful of artists).
