Here is something to consider about our world.
The worlds staggering population makes it difficult to comprehend how people live outside our own personal experience . However, if we compress the total of 100 people, then the statistics are much easier to comprehend. If our world had a population of 100 then:
Where we live-
21 Europeans
14 from the Americas, both North and South
8 Africans
57 Asians
Who we are -
52 female
48 male
70 people of color
30 white
90 non-christian
10 christian
What we have-
7 people possess 50% of the worlds wealth and all live in the Unites States
80 live in substandard housing
70 cannot read
60 suffer from malnutrition
1is near death
1 (yes only 1) has a college education
1 owns a computer
When we consider our worls from such a perspective the need to share the Good News becomes more pressing.
