You people talk about things you really don't know. There is no friendship between any two religions. As a matter of fact Christianity as eradicated more religions in the world than Atheism or secularism would ever do. And we would continue to eradicate more. I don't care about Religion at all I care about Christianity so when you compare ISIS to Missionaries I just laugh. Indeed they are practicing their own religion beliefs but we are at two opposite end of a pole.

And actually the world isn't getting worse it is actually getting very better and sweeter by the day. I don't know what you think you've faced in life but belief me the people of Old had it worse. There is far more peace in the world today, medical advances, technological breakthrough. Today, I am not King of any Kingdom but I tell you I am living a far more comfortable life than even Solomon. Or did Solomon ever had the Privilege of flying in a Plane, sleeping on a big awesome foamy bed, or even have the opportunity of watching Premiership. You live in great times my friend! Don't let the Devil tell you a Lie.

true we live a better life and one shouldn't expect less for "God's glory (all the scientific advancement)ought to cover the earth as water covers the seas " but if all we dream and crave for is to fly on plane and watch Premier League,we are of "all men most miserable" undecided

Pained hypocrites! I thought you all were making it seem like it was only Nigerians who are religious..seems like even the much developed countries still have myriad of Christians who are e even more aggressive in propagating the gospel than their Nigerian counterpart...

A new study reveals how the missions field continues to become increasingly global—in some surprising ways. One example: South Korea has lost its No. 2 sending spot to four unlikely contenders.

The Center for the Study of Global Christianity (CSGC) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary calculates that Christians sent out approximately 400,000 international missionaries in 2010. [/b]And nearly half of the world's top missionary-sending countries are now located in the global South.

[b]The CSGC reports that "of the ten countries sending the most missionaries in 2010, three were in the global South: Brazil, South Korea, and India." Other notable missionary senders included South Africa, the Philippines, Mexico, China, Colombia, and Nigeria.


However, the United States still tops the chart by far in terms of total missionaries, sending 127,000 in 2010 compared to the 34,000 sent by No. 2-ranked Brazil.

But examine the data differently—in terms of missionaries sent per million church members—and Palestine comes out on top at 3,401 sent, followed by Ireland, Malta, and Samoa. (Interestingly, South Korea ranks No. 5 at 1,014 missionaries sent per million church members, a sign of the continued strength of its missions movement compared to the No. 9-ranked United States at 614 missionaries sent).

The CSGC says U.S. dominance is part of a persistent missions imbalance: "The 10 countries that sent the most international missionaries in 2010 were home to 32 percent of the world's church members but sent almost 73 percent of all international missionaries."

Meanwhile, most missionaries continue to go to mostly Christian nations. "The 'top nine' receiving countries were home to only 3.5% of the world's non-Christians but received more than 34% of all international missionaries," notes the CSGC. "All nine have Christian majorities, and they were home to over 34% of the world's Christians in 2010."

By contrast, "The ten countries with the most non-Christians in 2010 were home to 73% of all non-Christians globally. Because many of them restrict or deny missionary access, however, they received only 9% of all international missionaries," notes the CSGC. The lion's share are in China, India, and Nigiera, where "large numbers of home missionaries also work among non-Christians."

The country that received the most missionaries in 2010? The United States, with 32,400 sent from other nations.

Also interesting is the fact that South Korea, which previously occupied the No. 2 spot (as detailed in a 2006 CT cover story, "Missions Incredible"wink, now appears to have been eclipsed by unlikely contenders. According to the CSGC, Brazil, France, Spain, and Italy all sent more missionaries than South Korea did in 2010. (Browse the full results on pp. 76-77 of the report.)

Meanwhile:

...The countries receiving the most missionaries per million people are overwhelmingly in Oceania and the Caribbean and have majority Christian populations. More striking, the ten countries that received the most missionaries per million non-Christians averaged almost one for every seven. This includes Samoa, at the top of the list, received more than one missionary for every three non-Christians. None of these countries was less than 90% Christian and only three were less than 95%. Suriname, with a bare Christian majority (51%), ranked 93rd on the list, while Albania, the highest-ranked country with a true Christian minority (32%), ranked 137th out of 232 countries. In addition, Samoa received one missionary for every 2.5 non-Christians. Tonga received one missionary for every 7.4 non-Christians, and Micronesia one for every 11.1 non-Christians.
publicpolicy.pepperdine.edu/masters-13
The CSGC also estimates that in just seven years, more than 9 in 10 people in the world will be religious, up 2 percent over similar data collected in 2010. It predicts that Christianity will be only the fifth-fastest growing religion in the world, coming in behind the Baha'i faith, Islam, Sikhism, and Jainism.

CT has previously reported on research that examines the future of Christianity, as well as on trends in the faith such as the "end of nominal Protestantism." Last September, CT spotlighted Asian American religiosity, noting that Asian American evangelicals are more likely than white evangelicals to say that Christianity is the only path to eternal life.

So America has the highest number..,no wonder the atheists are fighting th spread the gospel of "there's no god".
Re: Top Countries Sending And Receiving Christian Missionaries by MONITZ: 6:41pm On Nov 05, 2017
Some of those missionaries from the US will surely be spies,fifth columnists and agents of subversion in any countries they find themselves.Just as it was in the days of old when missionaries sent to Africa were the precursors of colonizers so it is till now.Desmond Tutu described it ideally by saying;"when the Europeans first came we had the land while they had the Bible,they told us to close our eyes for prayers and by the time we opened them they have our lands while we have the Bible.

The presence of the early missionaries in Africa had their good and bad sides though..

Nigeria is not even in the top 10. When it comes to mission work no one beats US, South Korea and Brazil. These Three Countries has some of the most radical missionaries. They are the ones who dare go into Islamic Nations. While the South Korean missionaries are actively involved in smuggling ppl out of North Korea into the South.

Meanwhile if they do a list of the top ten tithe collecting churches, Nigeria will certainly be in the top three. This goes to prove that contrary to the lies Nigerian church leaders claim that they are using the tithes and offerings to spread the gospel, they are using it for something else.

There would always be dullard in any country, unless
they are not allowed to publicly express their inanities.

There is a difference though, in developed countries,
these missionaries are only taken serious within their
circle of friends and believers and the low info ill-educated members of the society.

Given that it is become impossible to convince smart people

Lol I don't even get what your point is. There are far more Christians in USA than there are Atheists(70-22%). Norway has about 86% of Christians. South Korea is vigorously a Christian nation. Have you seen Lakewood Church in Houston(90,000), Texas - which is far larger then Faith Tabernacle in Ogun state(50,000), Have you seen TD Jakes Church in Dallas, Texas. Have you ever been to an Hillsong Worship Concert in Sydney, Australia. So your Argument of Intellectual inferiority for Communities who worship Christ is just Stupid!

Thank you my brother, thank you. I've been in this forum for 10 years + and you're actually the first person I'll like to follow. Sometimes I laugh at people who imagine how trump became USA president. Whenever I tell them that Obama policy on gay marriage, abortion, health care that force Christians and churches to insure their female workers on reproductive health which include right to abortion angered Christians, and that contributed to Hillary Clinton massive failure. They refused to believe me. For them, USA is an advanced country that has shun Christianity. All my explanation about the powerful effects of Evangelical and Catholicism in USA seems a fairly tale to them.
