0 to 500,000,000 in 100
April 9, this year marks one hundred years since the Azusa Street Revival which launched Pentecostalism as a dynamic movement.
Zero to half a billion in 100 years is not a bad record for a movement.
Don’t try and understand Pentecostalism and it’s significance simply by watching Christian TV. The vast majority of Pentecostals are from the “global South=developing world=majority world”. The regions with the world’s highest population growth.
Demographics is destiny. They are the future. God has a bias for the poor, and a sense of humour.
One of the best articles I’ve read on understanding Pentecostalism as a missionary movement is Towards a Pentecostal Missiology for the Majority World by Allan Anderson. A free download.
Read it. Distill the learning. Do something.
The King is coming.
