The Christian faith spreads like wildfire
Haven’t we been told that belief in Jesus Christ is a thing of the past? But in recent years, millions of people have realized that you can’t live and die with atheism. The famous prophets of the “God-is-dead philosophy” have nothing attractive to offer. No forgiveness and no consolation, no help in life and no orientation. Eternal life? Not a chance. All that remains is ice-cold materialism and brutal egoism.
They wanted to make it clear to us that intellectualism and belief in God were incompatible, even though most Nobel Prize winners in the 20th century were convinced of the reality of God.
Despite the persecution of Christians in China, India and Indonesia, hope in God is growing in unimagined dimensions, especially in these countries. Every year, an additional 30 million people profess Christianity.
In France, thousands of young people are being baptized as Roman Catholics. However, the growth of the Protestant free churches far overshadows this development. Since 1950, the number of convinced Protestants in the neighboring country has increased tenfold.
And what is the situation in England? The market research and data analysis company YouGov has researched that the proportion of those who believe in God among 18 to 24-year-olds has almost tripled in three and a half years, from 16% in August 2021 to 45% in January 2025. There are also more believers among 25 to 49-year-olds. The proportion has risen from 21% to 33% in the same period.
Attendance at church services has also increased. According to two surveys conducted by YouGov in 2018 and 2024, the number of adults who attended a church service at least once a month rose by 56% during this period. The proportion of the population attending church services rose from 8 percent in 2018 to 12 percent in 2024. Who would have thought that possible ten years ago?
The picture above shows Diospi Suyana’s packed amphitheater on April 26th this year. During the five days of the festival, over half a million mostly young people followed the evening program with church services, testimonies and concerts on social media.
Of the 4,500 participants, 2,000 young people visited the central prayer courtyard of the Diospi Suyana School. Naturally voluntarily and of their own accord.
Since faith in the crucified and risen Christ has been lost in many Protestant churches in Europe, their churches remain yawningly empty. Understandably, who wants to struggle out of bed on a Sunday morning to listen to warmed-up humanism in an orphaned nave?
The following song by the Mexican band “Un Corazón” has had 418 million views to date. It has the potential to become the anthem of an entire continent. The lyrics are completely straightforward and unmistakably clear.
