Christianity is spreading like wildfire in places where is has not been spreading before, with way more converts than any other religion.

No it is not, and why you would believe such a thing when you promote a narrow way by which only a few find it and pass through?. This is nothing other than you speaking from both sides of your mouth and only you can tell us why you do such a thing, although it really is obvious(you are grounded in a belief system that contradicts itself).

Church attendance especially in America is dwindling too, for many reasons.... Believers with a heart for God are leaving in their droves(out of church christians disatisfied with the church), many are leaving because they no longer believe in God, others have found answers in other faiths and for many other reasons.

No other religions are as insecure or money-hungry as Christianity. Other religions do not enlist missionaries to sign up new clients to keep the coffers full. Christianity is the only religion I'm aware of that requires a sales staff.

Where the gospel of Christ is preached without apology, people will respond in the affirmative. Liberal theology is the same as the world. It’s simply not appealing.

Missionaries spread the gospel in places where people have nothing to give, nor are they asked to give anything.

If you can't respect Christians in US, perhaps you can respect those who choose to serve God in far away places for no earthly gain.

It works, because the power of Holy Spirit makes it work.

Send Joel Osteen to East Africa to tell the villagers they can have anything they ever wanted if they believe in themselves, and he will receive nothing but blank stares.

Well, Jesus gave everyone he met what they asked. Maybe only Jesus had the abilty to do that, but hang on he told the disciples to do the things he had done before them, and hang on again, didn't he say we would do greater works than what he did because he was going to the Father. Lord please stop sending fundamental christians to East Africa if all they have is a belief system that they think the bible backs up it. Amen.

Balderdash with a side order of complete nonsense and bovine excrement for dessert. They "serve" to save their ass from their god-thing and to add more $heep to fleece for their earthly masters.

I see more and more walking away, because of conservative fundamentalism.
Although, the only thing they are really walking away from is the mentality.
