Well, we finally have internet at the new house, so I can get back to blogging…hopefully a little more regularly.

This article was fascinating to me. I wonder what this means for our global ministry.  I wonder what this means for the call of the church as these different areas explode with population.  I wonder what the call on each of our individual lives.  Here are some highlights:

The world’s population is forecast to hit 7 billion in 2011, the vast majority of its growth coming in developing and, in many cases, the poorest nations, a report released Wednesday said.

A staggering 97 percent of global growth over the next 40 years will happen in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

By 2050, India is projected to be the world’s most populous nation at 1.7 billion, overtaking current leader China, which is forecast to hit 1.4 billion. The United States is expected to reach 439 million for No. 3 on the list.
