Prayercast

Answer to Prayer

The continued rise of the newer charismatic and Pentecostal movements, across the spectrum of Christian megablocs and denominations, from less than 10% of the population in 1970 to nearly 20% in 2010. Pentecostal/charismatic groups make up most of the growing Christian denominations in the USA, and charismatic ministries have an impact far beyond their immediate sphere. New networks and movements of churches and Christians align together based around renewal and revival rather than on denominationalism. Millions in both historic and newer denominations have had their faith rejuvenated; many of these would not identify themselves as “evangelical”, but they possess a living and profound faith.

Challenge for Prayer

America’s Christian legacy is undeniable and foundational to its identity. The Pilgrim Fathers were determined to establish a land in which they were free to exercise their Christian faith. On that foundation developed one of the largest and most dynamic Christian movements in history. In the USA are 17.6% of the Protestants in the world, 16.8% of the evangelicals and still a significant proportion of all the world’s foreign missionaries. Christian values incubated in American society shaped modern democracy, human rights and economic development. Furthermore, generosity, evangelistic vitality and ability to dream big are major factors in the surge of gospel progress. Pray that these may be maintained.
