'DO YOU KNOW???' (A CEPOP SPECIAL)

Oh yes, DO YOU KNOW???
This evening I bring you a staggering& an alarming statistics on Evangelism.
This should AWAKEN you to save that DYING SOUL...but first:

So once again I do a CEPOP SPECIAL for our upcoming Evangelism which kicks off this Monday June 6 to June 19 this year.

The statistics I have should tell you how EVANGELISM is unpopular but needed.

*SOME WORLD STATS:
-90% of foreign missionaries work among alreadyreached people groups.

-10% work among unreached people groups. (Winter and Koch, 543)

-Despite Christ's command to evangelize, 67% of all humans from AD 30 to the present day have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ. (Baxter 2007, 12)

-91% of all Christian outreach/evangelism does not target non-Christians, but targets other Christians. (Baxter 2007, 12)

-In the last 40 years, over 1 billion people have died who have never heard of Jesus, and around 30 million people this year will perish without hearing the message of salvation. (Baxter 2007, 12)

*70,000+ people die everyday in the unreached world without Jesus. (Baxter 2007, 12)

* Of foreign mission funding: 87% goes for work among those already Christian. 12% for work among already evangelized, but Non-Christian. 1% for work among the unevangelized and unreached people. (Baxter 2007, 12)

* IN GHANA
The Stats in Ghana are few&hard to come by:
The few:
- In Ghana, 11.61% of the population are deemed church attending Christians.
-50.68% of acclaimed Christians do not go to church.
- 37.71% of the rest of the population are either Muslims or any of the lesser known religions.
