Psalm 150:1 to 3 (ESV) “Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!”.

Proverbs 15:33 (TLB) “Humility and reverence for the Lord will make you both wise and honored”.

1. The 1976 earthquake, the pain of war, and the witness of believers and missionaries all drew many to Jesus. Praise God for the growth among evangelicals, who now make up almost 25% of the population and have 25,000 congregations!

2. Growth came quickly among Pentecostals, but faith is not always deep. Many mix pagan practices and beliefs with biblical faith, or follow attractive teachings on prosperity. Churches that fail to disciple new believers may lose them in the next two decades. Pray that pastors and leaders will demonstrate Christ-like humility and rise above foolish divisions and greed.
