Send more black missionaries to Sweden. We need them!

Heard an interesting discussion on the radio today.

The number of practicing Christians in the rich, white, European countries is decreasing. While the total number Christians is increasing in the world.
The increase is taking place in a belt along the equator, around the world i.e. in Africa, Asia and South America.
According to the reporter 2,5 Billion people are Christians in the world today.

The reporter was introducing a thesis, that the rich western world had made themselves independent of God and Christianity. While the poor people in the developing countries still need God to get comfort.
This Swedish reporter had probably not been to many countries around the equator and most likely not visited many churches in these regions. Because if he had, he had also known that these countries has big middle and upper-class’ and a lot of these not poor, and many times well educated people, are accepting Christ in the ongoing revival in these countries. I know, because I have been there and I was one of them!

There was a black African pastor interviewed in the radio program. He had been practicing in Sweden for some years. He told a story about how missionaries from Sweden came to his country and saved people, many years ago. How he was saved and later became a pastor. He had heard that Sweden was a Christian country. The first time he visited Sweden he was very surprised to find out, that the churches were almost empty.
For some reason he had stayed on in Sweden. Now he is a Black ”missionary”, in the white Christian Sweden. Interesting how things change over time, isn't it?

This black pastor was seriously suggesting that Sweden need a new revival. That today’s modern white people will benefit from having a direct dialog with God. Isn't that tickling?

I Love pictures like this one:

I have been to the English service in a Charismatic Church in Gothenburg in Sweden. There they have black pastors from Africa. I promise you, it is a lot more fun to go there then to go to the Swedish service. Sorry guys, but we Swedes have become boringly self-sufficient and spiritless.
