If the world were a village…
of just 100 people, according to the latest Crosslinks magazine:
- only 17 would be Western
- 33 would call themselves Christians but only 9 might be evangelical
- 40 would never have heard of Jesus
- 16 of them, even if they did hear, cannot read, so would not be able to read a Bible
- the 17 that live in the West would have over 50% of the wealth
- 56 are in such severe poverty that they are suffering from malnutrition
"But the world is not a village of 100 people. It is an ever increasing population well on its way to the 7 billion mark. The 67 villages who don't know Jesus are actually 4.5 billion people…who will have to face God without a mediator."
