I emailed my obser\u00adva\u00adtions about the Assem\u00adblies of God reach\u00ading just under 1% every\u00adwhere<\/a> to a few of my friends.<\/p>\n

Earl Creps<\/a> weighed in with this com\u00adment: <\/p>\n

I just did some research for an AGWM<\/a> pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion and found reports that about 40% of all Pen\u00adte\u00adcostals (not just AG) live in Latin Amer\u00adi\u00adca (with a lot of those in Brazil), com\u00adpris\u00ading about 10% of the area\u2019s 500 mil\u00adlion inhab\u00adi\u00adtants. You\u2019re right about the gross sta\u00adtis\u00adtics con\u00adceal\u00ading huge dis\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adties, with the con\u00adse\u00adquent dan\u00adger of an \u201caver\u00adage\u201d real\u00adi\u00adty. We are def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly much more \u201csuc\u00adcess\u00adful\u201d abroad, but only when cer\u00adtain select\u00aded head-to-head com\u00adpar\u00adisons (e.g., New York vs. Malawi) are used. When oth\u00ader com\u00adpar\u00adisons are in view (e.g. Arkansas vs. Swe\u00adden), well, things just a look a lit\u00adtle dif\u00adfer\u00adent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Mills<\/a> not\u00aded that my stats might be flawed<\/p>\n

For exam\u00adple, here in the NW we have a pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of 6,131,445 and total adher\u00adhents of 118,662 mak\u00ading 1.9 per\u00adcent of the dis\u00adtrict. Even if you add in 2 mil\u00adlion peo\u00adple for North ID which is also in our dis\u00adtrict the num\u00adber is still 1.4 per\u00adcent.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First, bra\u00advo to the North\u00adwest Dis\u00adtrict<\/a>. I\u2019ve long thought they were among our most effec\u00adtive dis\u00adtricts in terms of coach\u00ading and flex\u00adi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty. Now I know that my sub\u00adjec\u00adtive impres\u00adsion is val\u00adi\u00addat\u00aded by the facts.<\/p>\n

Sec\u00adond, this is the sort of thing I\u2019d expect. We have hot spots and cold spots in Amer\u00adi\u00adca just as we do world\u00adwide. They\u2019re prob\u00ada\u00adbly bal\u00adanc\u00ading out places like the north\u00adeast where we\u2019re strug\u00adgling much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
