SHIFT IN CHRISTIAN POPULATIONS
According to a report from the World Economic Forum, by 2060 six of the countries with the top ten largest Christian populations will be in Africa. Data projections from the Pew Research Centre suggest a gradual shift that has increasingly seen Christian populations living outside the historical centres of Christianity. The size of the Christian population in Nigeria alone, already the largest on the continent, is projected to double by 2060. In addition, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya are projected to join the list of countries with the top ten largest Christian populations, replacing Russia, Germany and China.
GOD'S AMAZING CREATION
Dr Tommy Mitchell has gone through a spiritual evolution. The medical doctor, who once embraced theistic evolution, is now a young-Earth creationist who speaks and writes for Christian ministry Answers In Genesis. The Christian Post reports that Dr Mitchell said the complexities of the human body convinced him of God’s amazing creation and that the reason most doctors he has worked with are atheists, is they don’t stop to consider the complexity of the body.
CHURCHES PAYING OFF DEBTS
Churches across the United States are engaging in a wonderful work of compassion, by paying off the medical debt of unsuspecting strangers. By partnering with organizations like RIP Medical Debt, generous congregations have been assisting debt-ridden families by lifting their crippling financial burden. One such church engaging in this work is Pathway Church on the outskirts of Wichita, Kansas. They managed to pay off $2.2 million in debt, according to the National Catholic Reporter. That was enough to cover every single Kansas resident facing imminent bankruptcy due to spiralling medical expenses that they couldn't afford to pay -- some 1,600 people in total!
