Amir, this could suprise you, but the reason for the fast growth of the Christian churches, not just the Roman Catholic and mailine Protestant churches, but also of the evangelical or Bible churches in the global south. South America, Asia, and Africa have seen record growth in membership. Africa is where the Christian church is booming. Even now these countries are sending members to the west to not only start up churches for members coming from these countries, but also becoming missioniares to people in both Europe and North America. Here is a recent article ( today ) and URL.
