The following figures are now outdated. They were accurate when they were compiled a few years ago.
Shrink 6+ billion people in the world into a village of 100 people. With maintaining the existing ratios, here is the world in a nutshell:
-57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from North and South America, and 8 Africans.
-70 non-white
-70 non-Christian.
-6 control 50% of the world’s wealth; all are U.S. Citizens.
-70 are unable to read
-50 suffer from malnutrition.
-80 live in sub-standard housing
-1 attended college.
These figures should give us cause for concern regardless of our race or affluence. But, as a Christians, the one that you and I can do the most about are the 70 who are not Christian.
This figure indicates that we have not been diligent in obeying the commandment of the Lord to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” Mark 16:15. Granted, not all who hear will become Christians, but those who do not hear will never become Christians.
Jesus, when asked by His disciples about the end times, said in Matt. 24:14; “And the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all, the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” What are you doing to hasten that day?
