4. That's not surprising at all.

My church has a sister church in Mozambique and we send money and support as often as able.

And I've read a number of articles stating that the evangelicals (Nazarene, AoG, Pentecostal, etc) are growing by leaps and bounds throughout Asia.

The faith is declining throughout Europe and is showing decline in the United States but is showing heavy growth in other parts of the world. What I see as a problem is that the developing churches are much more conservative, which means any emerging leaders from that region will be conservative. With the rapid growth being from the more conservative regions it's feasible that there might be a return to a more conservative church for a number of groups.
