According
to a speaker during the Manila International Missions Conference I attended in 2015, there are
approximately 180,000 people saved in the world per day. Right now, there are
7.3 billion people alive in the world. If the church reaches out to 180,000
people per day, then there are 65,700,000 people saved every year. This means
that it will take 111.111 years to make the 7.3 billion people in the world to
become a Christian. This will be in 2127.
Jesus said, “the harvest is
plentiful.”
The
problem is that by 2127, world population will not remain as 7.3 billion. In
fact, by 2127, the projected world population, according to the UN, is about 19
billion. This means that if we want the people of the whole world to be
Christians by 2127, we need to reach out to 171,000,171 people every year
during the next 111 years. This means reaching out to 468,493 people per day
for the next 111 years. If we are reaching out to 180,000 people per day, then
there are an estimated 288,493 who are lost per day for the next 111 years.
Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful.”
Let us assume, again, that
there are 180,000 people saved every day in the world. Currently, there are
approximately 360,000 babies born per day. This means that one half of each
baby born in the world everyday will not be saved.
Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful.”
Let us assume, again, that
there are 180,000 people saved every day in the world. Currently, there are
approximately 151,600 people who die every day. If there are only 31% of
Christians (including 50% Roman Catholics) in the world, it means that among
the 151,600 who die every day, only 46,996 are saved. The rest—104,604 people—are
destined to go to hell. Imagine that: there are 104,604 people who are destined
to go to hell every day!
Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful.”
Of the 7.3 billion people in
the world, 2,173,180,000 are Christians, which is basically 31% of the total
world population (50% are Catholic, 37% Protestant, 12% Orthodox, and 1% other). If
there are 180,000 people reached out every day, it means that it
takes 12,073.22 Christians to reach out to one non-believer per day; or that there is only one in every 12,073.22 Christians around the world who bear
witness to Christ to one person per day.
Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”
