A Missions Perspective on 100 People

there-are-more-people-living-inside-this-circle-than-outside-of-it-2

One of the blogs I subscribe to contains odd and interesting collections of pictures. Yesterday the post was on what the world would look like statistically if it only contained 100 people (because it is easier for our mind to understand the number 100 rather than 7.2 billion). As I was reading through the list, it was a profound missions perspective on our world today. Take a look:

  • Sex: 5o would be male | 50 would be female
  • Age: 26 would be the age 0-14 | 66 would be 15-64 | 8 would be 65 and older
  • Location: 14 people would be from the Americas | 11 Europeans |15 Africans | 60 Asians | 0.5 would be from the Oceania area

  • Suburbia: 51 would be urban dwellers | 49 would be rural
  • Religion: 33 Christians | 22 Muslims | 14 Hindus | 7 Buddhists | 12 people who practice other religions | 12 people who would not be aligned with a religion
  • Language: 12 would speak Chinese | 5 Spanish | 5 English | 3 Arabic | 3 Hindi | 3 Bengali | 3 Portuguese | 2 Russian | 2 Japanese | 62 would speak other languages
  • Literacy: 83 would be able to read and write
  • Education: 7 would have a college degree
  • Technology: 75 would be cell phone users | 30 would be active internet users | 22 would own or share a computer
  • Money: 48 would live on less than $2 per day | 1 out of 2 children would live in poverty
  • Electricity: 78 would have access to electricity, 22 would not
  • Housing: 77 people would have a place to shelter them from the weather, but 23 would not
  • Health: 1 would be dying of starvation | 15 would be undernourished | 21 would be overweight
  • Water: 87 would have access to clean-safe drinking water | 13 would not

Many Christians feel frustrated because they don’t grow spiritually. We equip Christians to understand the Word of God and cultivate a passionate love for Jesus that turns the world upside down.

This ministry is maintained by the Lord through the stewardship of those who value it.
