Is the global population of Christians really increasing?
Projections indicate that the population of Christians is increasing so much that it will balloon to over 3 billion worldwide by 2050. This should be thoroughly investigated since the reality on the ground seems to be different.
The Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary reported that global Christianity is experiencing remarkable growth, defying expectations and surpassing population rates. According to its report:
“The growth of Christianity is particularly pronounced in the global south, with Africa and Asia emerging as the fastest-growing regions. Africa, in particular, has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from having less than 10 million Christians at the turn of the 20th century to now being home to 734 million Christians, growing at a rate of 2.64%. By 2050, Africa is projected to host more Christians than Asia and Latin America combined.” CP.
