You Are the Light of the World (by Thom)

I had this sent to me a couple of weeks ago. This picture is fascinating and I've spent several moments looking over it in details with my friends and family. Basically, it shows where evangelicals around the world are concentrated. Some of the places are obvious - most of the United States, South Korea, Australia, & New Zealand - and some places surprised me - notably Holland, Chile & Madagascar. I have many evangelical friends from Holland but I still let the stereotypes of 'liberal hotbed' define my perception there. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Burkina Faso and part of western Mali show up even if it is a faint light. At the same time, I was saddened to see the needs for the Gospel to reach a large part my own United States, especially in much of the west.
