Beyond The 10/40 Window (1)
Germany
Religious freedom. A close cooperation between the government and the RC Church and Protestant Established Churches (EKD) in religious education, media, etc. All denominations with ‘public law status’ can levy taxes on their members which are collected by the government on their behalf. High Christian numbers below are often for those who have not opted out of this taxation system. There is a growing hostility to anything overtly Christian.
69.47% of the population is labeled Christian. Christianity is about discipleship. One cannot be born a Christian. Being Lutheran or Catholic doesn’t qualify one as a Christian. My Lutheran friend in Germany is also a professing Atheist. The number of those who are growing in their walk with Christ is not 69.47%. It is closer to 1.5%.
What can you do? Pray. Give to those who plan on being missionaries there. Go.
