This is informative:

Today more Presbyterians worship in the African nation of Ghana than in Scotland. And more Anglicans worship in Nigeria than in Britain. We like to think of ourselves as the Christian West.

But there is growing evidence that the center of Christendom has moved.

Africans are running to accept Jesus Christ. It is a scene playing out all across the developing world. It may sound like an exaggeration, but it's not: Christianity is sweeping across the southern hemisphere and Asia like a tidal wave.

very interesting and very much true

This book goes into great detail on just that subject. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The Chinese Church--which is experiencing explosive growth and maturity-- sees it as its destiny to evangelize the muslim world. They look at it this way: Christianity began in the Middle East, expanded westward to Europe, then North America, and then to the Far East. Chinese missionaries sent to the Middle East complete the circle begun 2000 years ago. This is one of the most fascinating and important books I have read.
