''*[[Earth Quake and In the Tsunami in Asia 2004News]]''

We are deeply saddened by the Earth Quake and the *[[TsunamiVideo of the Week]] in Asia! The death toll appears to have exceeded 150,000 people in 12 countries from Malaysia to Somalia. What a horror it left to so many thousands of people who did not have the slightest clue of what is going to happen just a few days ago! As Christians, let us show that we care and that our hearts go out to those that have lost their loved ones!

Although Christianity is the largest religion in the world [[Image:Seek-The-Truth-800px.png|right|300px]] *[[Christian doctrine and there are massive missionary efforts under way, as a whole it is declining in terms of the overall population.

By contrast, *[[Current issues]] | [[IslamNews]] is growing at 1.76% per year.
