The growth of evangelicals in Latin Americain the last century, especially the last generation, is spectacular. In 1900, evangelicals numbered about 700,000, or 1% of the population (only about 200,000 of these being in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries). By 2010, they reached 91 million, or 16.8% of the population. Most of this growth was fuelled by the steady, faithful proclamation and witness of tens of thousands of laymen and pastors planting small churches out of a passion for the gospel. The New World is home to over 35% of the world’s evangelicals. For an additional 9 Answers to Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God's wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.[a] 4 Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."[b]
5 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law—and it was opened. 6 Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

1For the leader. On the gittit. A psalm of the sons of Korach: How deeply loved are your dwelling-places, ADONAI-Tzva'ot!2My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing for the courtyards of ADONAI; my heart and body cry for joy to the living God.3As the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young, [so my resting-place is] by your altars, ADONAI-Tzva'ot, my king and my God.4How happy are those who live in your house; they never cease to praise you! (Selah)5How happy the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.6Passing through the [dry] Baka Valley, they make it a place of springs, and the early rain clothes it with blessings.7They go from strength to strength and appear before God in Tziyon.8ADONAI, God of armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Ya'akov. (Selah)9God, see our shield [the king]; look at the face of your anointed.10Better a day in your courtyards than a thousand [days elsewhere]. Better just standing at the door of my God's house than living in the tents of the wicked.11For ADONAI, God, is a sun and a shield; ADONAI bestows favor and honor; he will not withhold anything good from those whose lives are pure.12ADONAI-Tzva'ot, how happy is anyone who trusts in you!
