<!--QuoteBegin-acharya+Nov 11 2007, 11:18 PM-->QUOTE(acharya @ Nov 11 2007, 11:18 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Based on the above estimates the average annual rate of increase has been close to 7% for the last 50 years although growth has not been steady during this period. If the rate of increase is maintained at 7%, 25 years later the total number of Chinese Christians might reach 300 to 400 million. This is not just dreaming or guessing, but rather a conclusion based on evidence. The number of Chinese Christians will then surpass the number of Christians in any other ethnic group and China will be the country with the greatest number of Christians. Today there are few ethnic Chinese missionaries, but, in the future, Chinese Christians may contribute the largest and strongest missionary force...
...It is also God's plan that the Chinese elite are found all over the world. Currently, there are about 600,000 Chinese scholars and students abroad, scattered in the U.S., Canada, Britain and the rest of Europe. About half of them are in the U.S. and are very open to the Gospel. Evidence shows that about 10% of them have accepted Christ as their Savior, and many of these believers, who have committed themselves to full-time ministry, are receiving training in theological seminaries. This is a late-twentieth century miracle. When these students return to China after their training, along with the elite in China, they will be a powerful army for the Christianization of 21st century China.

That's all the world needs now...a massive army of christian crusaders coming out the world's most populated country. Its bad enough that most of the south koreans have turned christian and currently make up the largest christian crusading force in the world. Now to top it, we have the threat of the possibility of over 1 billion chinese peddling bibles. The only way to counteract that, if at all it can be countered, is for all the 1 billion Indians to become staunch hindus (which is highly unlikely scenario). Otherwise, the world will see nothing but doom. The image of millions of recently converted christian (fanatics) trampling about the world with crosses in their backpacks (and possibly swords) is all the more frightening.
