We are excited to share the 2016 Statistical Report for World Missions Ministries Division. We thank the Lord for an increase in our number of churches: 9,842 in 2015 compared to 10,684 in 2016 [an increase of 842 churches] and members: 1,466,119 in 2015 compared to 1,567,975 in 2016 [an increase in 101,856 members]. Most of the increase has occurred on the continent of Africa where we have crossed the one million membership threshold with 1,074,117 members [988,885 in 2015].<\/p>\n

Our church in Ethiopia seems to be experiencing unprecedented revival and growth. They report 410 churches and a membership of 463,247. In one of Ron Wooten\u2019s email notes, he stated the following: \u201cThey report more than 20 churches with more than 2,000 members, and a few with close to 4,000 members. They also report more than 100 churches with over 1,000 members.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am grateful for the guidance and care that Regional Director, Ron Wooten has given to Ethiopia. He has been telling us that something special\/supernatural is transpiring in Ethiopia for the past three years. We acknowledge this as the Lord\u2019s doing and are humbled by this outpouring of His spirit in that country.<\/p>\n

You may be interested to know that India has included house church numbers in their statistics for the first time. They report having 694 house churches. The prerequisites for classification as a house church in IPHC North India are similar to our guidelines in the US for planted\/transfer member churches.<\/p>\n

Thank you for partnering with us in our efforts to reach the nations with the gospel and love of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Agradecemos al Se\u00f1or por un aumento en nuestro n\u00famero de iglesias: 9,842 en 2015 comparado con 10,684 en 2016 [un aumento de 842 iglesias] y miembros: 1,466,119 en 2015 comparado con 1,567,975 en 2016 [un aumento de 101,856 miembros]. La mayor parte del aumento se ha producido en el continente de \u00c1frica, donde hemos cruzado el umbral de un mill\u00f3n de miembros con 1.074.117 miembros [988.885 en 2015]. Nuestra iglesia en Etiop\u00eda parece estar experimentando renacimiento y crecimiento sin precedentes. Informan 410 iglesias y una membres\u00eda de 463.247. En una de las notas de correo electr\u00f3nico de Ron Wooten, declar\u00f3 lo siguiente: \"Informan de m\u00e1s de 20 iglesias con m\u00e1s de 2.000 miembros, y algunas con cerca de 4.000 miembros. Tambi\u00e9n reportan m\u00e1s de 100 iglesias con m\u00e1s de 1.000 miembros. \"Estoy agradecido por la orientaci\u00f3n y el cuidado que el Director Regional, Ron Wooten ha dado a Etiop\u00eda. Nos ha estado diciendo que algo especial \/ sobrenatural est\u00e1 ocurriendo en Etiop\u00eda durante los \u00faltimos tres a\u00f1os. Reconocemos esto como obra del Se\u00f1or y somos humillados por este derramamiento de Su esp\u00edritu en ese pa\u00eds. Usted puede estar interesado en saber que la India ha incluido n\u00fameros de la iglesia de la casa en sus estad\u00edsticas por primera vez. Informan tener 694 iglesias de la casa. Los requisitos previos para la clasificaci\u00f3n como una iglesia en casa en IPHC Norte de la India son similares a nuestras directrices en los EE.UU. para las iglesias miembros plantados \/ transferencia. Gracias por estar con nosotros en el trabajo cr\u00edtico de enviar misioneros para servir a la iglesia y cumplir con la Gran Comisi\u00f3n.
