Does any one want to guess where the largest mega church is? It is not Lakewood nor is it Rick Warren's Saddleback Community.

If no one gets it I'll give the answer after three pages of commentary.

Bonus points for knowing how many members it has.

I was rather surprised to find out that it was not in the United States of America that the largest mega churches existed but in third world.

Christianity is definitely declining in the United States of America and most western countries however it appears that is growing in there is like Europe, so america, and the East.

Some Korean church are really scary though, like the moonies etc. Not all churches are good churches and not all large ones follow the bible.

South Korea is not a third world country. Educate yourself.

I'm glad somebody said Europe because I too have noticed it is growing in several countries there.

The why's behind the growth is most interesting. China, at it's current conversion rate, could become the world's most Christian populated nation by 2030. What would that mean politically, economically and globally?
