Northern Asia
More than 1.3 billion people — one-fifth of the world’s population — live in Northern Asia, and statisticians estimate this number will increase to 1.4 billion within the next few years. While the region often evokes images of tranquil rice fields, it also includes nearly 200 cities with populations topping 1 million. Its economy is growing rapidly, rivaling that of Europe and the Americas. Advances in communications systems in recent years have generated nearly 140 million Internet users.
A spiritual advancement is also taking place as the region experiences one of the great revivals of history. By the early 1950’s, many questioned the future of the church in Northern Asia, but it has emerged strong and vibrant. Some experts estimate that tens of thousands of people accept Christ every day and that the growing church now exceeds 100 million believers — an increase from less than 1 million 60 years ago. Most of the growth has occurred in the past 30 years.
