Noone, God obviously does not need anything from me, or anyone else. He chooses however to use men and women to do His work, and sanctifies them in the process.
Arewethereyet, yes, that's true that there has been Population Growth as well. But the %ages show the complete story. Thus, 10 MN of around 140 MN, going by what you quoted, is 7%. That's what it was in 1900. 700 MN today, of 1.2 BN of Africa's Total Population, is nearly 60%. Thus, there has been a percentage growth, and not a merely numerical growth, as well. Percentage growth would not come about merely through birth rates, but through Souls accepting Christ as well.
Christ For All Nations Ministry claims 88 MN Souls came to Christ in the nearly 50 years they've been in Africa since their founding: https://cfan.org/ I know that sounds high at first glance, but the stats check out.
It's pretty crappy to go into a needy area and promise clean water, medical care, food, etc. if the people claim to be part of whatever mission crew is there. You should all be ashamed. If you were really out to help people you would do it without adding to your rolls. Souls accepting Christ is blood money as far as I can tell.
True charity doesn't require anything in return. Especially not upping your numbers on the who's religion has more people than the other religions.
