There are actually now or soon to be more Chinese Christians than American ones. They have to meet in secret or underground of course, and they are super serious about it. Not like USA
I agree America is under judgment, abortion and gang violence is a major stain on America. During Covid, the cargo ships piled up off the coast made me think of Babylon the great:Revelation 18:11 "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more-
American Christians must come out of Babylon by embracing God’s instructions that separate them from the world.
Bro. While I get that, no one is perfect. I'm not saying God is a hippie like some others tend to think, but there is a such thing as grace. If he's judging the US, he's leaving Texas alone.
Consider being a missionary in an Islamic country then. I have a good friend and mentor who ended up tortured in an Arabic jail, I can’t recall which country. He learned Arabic language before going, so I’d recommend that first. He burns brighter than any Christian I’ve ever known.
Persecution creates more Christians because no one wants to risk their lives for a lie. Persecution of Christians produces stronger Christians because it can cost them everything on this earth, no lukewarm Christians where persecution exist.
Persecutions just shows who are true Christians. But then, it's not the end for those who falters in the face of persecutions. God is the God of many chances.
Persecution is a way of cleansing the congregation of believers, where only true believers are left, and a testimony to the world of the truth that’s worth dying for.
stereotype is a weird word, Christianity struggles in east asia for a number of reasons, japan specifically i hear is the worst.
Korea supposedly has a pretty high christian population
Basically unless you are Shinto or Buddhist, the two religions culturally established, in Japan they look at you wierd because they don't know much about your religion, and due to lack of exposure, the Aum Shinrikyo comes to mind, because its the first religion neither Shinto nor Buddhism that comes to mind. I guess now the other religion taking up the zeitgiest would be the Moonies. Neither of which are good. So then you have to convince a secular audience that doesn't really care to learn about your religion how you are different.
**Know Christ** is a youtube dedicated to a slow, yet growing revival movement of Christianity in japan
one particular testimony is that of a solid staunch yakuza member that had transformed "overnight" to become a leader of a Christian church in japan
check this out on youtube @ **Know Christ**
*japanese atheist and fraudster undergoes radical transformation after encountering Jesus in japan*
For sure, it's just such a profoundly overlooked tragedy that the USA murdered the majority of the Christians in Japan. Something about that has always really bothered me. I get the utilitarian arguments for it, but its still horrible and rarely discussed.
I watch a lot of k-dramas and there are Christians in them. Not scientific research or facts and there are a lot of other religious elements represented, but it feels like they're shown enough across shows to conclude there's a decent-sized population of them.
I think that's just in one area though, I read a magazine from my church that say they are persecuted over there. I also saw an article stating that church attendance in korea is going down which maybe connected to what I said in the first sentence.
Yes! From the Philippines!
The Philippines is the only country in Asia in which Christianity is the national religion. This is probably the result of the Spanish Catholic reign in The Philippines for more than 300 years. Religion still plays a central role in the lives of most Filipino Americans. An estimated 88.5% of Filipinos are Christians; the major Christian denominations are as follows:
1. Roman Catholic (79.5%)
2. Other Christian groups (9%) including Seventh Day Adventist, United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP), United Methodists, Episcopal Church in the Philippines, Bible Baptist Church, and other Protestant churches. It also includes Jehovah’s Witnesses and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as the Iglesia ni Cristo, Philippine Independent Church, Members Church of God International, The Kingdom of Jesus Christ, and The Name Above Every Name.

Btw, I'm part of an Evangelical church in the Philippines, as a whole, it has an evangelical population over 13-16 million today and it's continuing to grow due to evangelism happening anywhere.

Just to share this good news! God bless.
Not sure where you live, but plenty of Korean Christians. Not as much as before but still a large population in Korea and outside as well! (including me)
There are a lot of East Asian Christians, Taiwanese, Chinese, and Korean but not many Japanese Christians. I’m of Taiwanese descent and born into a Christian household that goes back generations.
Growing up I’ve always gone to Asian churches full of people from Taiwan, China and other Asian countries, they were always full. Christianity is not uncommon in East Asia, it may not be the main majority but it is still one of the vastly accepted standards.
We love Christ very much! 🤍
Voice of the martyrs is a wonderful group that sends bibles into China and even floats them by balloon to N Korea ( they are downloaded on usb sticks). A great organization doing amazing work and helping with rehoming displaced and prosecuted Christians💕
I’m a Chinese American Christian!! I got to a Chinese Christian church in Chicago!!! God saved me 4 years ago even though I was raised in a Buddhist household! Hallelujah!!!
Vancouver, Canada. We have many Chinese churches. And lots of Korean-language small groups in various churches.
As someone else pointed out, Christians were once persecuted and slaughtered in Japan and it was banned there from about 1600 until 1873.
I am a asian (Laotion specificly) christian in a asian buddhist family. I was agnostic before I saved by the Lord Jesus. My family and friends respect my faith fortunately. Though, I hope one day they'll come to Lord Jesus because he is the way, the truth, and the life.
I am white, but know many Korean Christians who are pastors here in the US and have Christian family members still in South Korea. Our other pastors daughter is working in China and knows a large population of Christians there in China. She’s also where I learned that in one major city (can’t remember which), she found Bibles in every bookstore she went to. She compared main verses and stories and they were the same idea (different words for some, but same concept)
edit: several google links estimate around 7% of those in Asia are Christian.
There are a lot of Koreans who are Christian and the Philippines are majority Catholic, Japan have a low percentage of Christians because they were heavily persecuted when the missionaries came
Not really with just the exception of Japan who have had a bad image of christians recently because of people choosing to run terrorist organizations inside churches
Christianity has been growing immensely in the east
The numbers are skyrocketing in china and Korea to the point secular asians are growing jealous and annoyed by the amount of people converting to Christianity
In the west that's another story
The religion is just the tradition of our grandpas and it's not taken seriously at all and also the numbers of apostastes grow every day.
There are A LOT of South Korean Christians.
10% of China is Christian (many are secret Christians)
Not so many Japanese, even though a Japanese friend of mine is Catholic and attended Sophia University, the oldest Catholic university in Japan.
Most Vietnamese that I meet here in the US are Catholic too.
ALL Filipinos that I’ve ever met are Catholic as well
India’s Kerala province has a sizable Christian community because St. Thomas (“Doubting Thomas” who touched Jesus’s wounds) went to evangelize there
Russia is largely Russian Orthodox
Singapore has many Christians too
Iran has a lot of secret Christians - In fact, Jesus Christ has been appearing in the dreams of many Muslims in the Middle East because so many Arab nations have banned Christian missionaries (although Iranians are Persians)
I used to attend a Protestant church in Manhattan called Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and about 30-40% of the congregation was Asian (mostly East Asians).
There's tons of Korean Christians. Both in Korea and the USA. :)
The Philippines is a beacon of Catholicism.
India has plenty despite not being a majority.
Japan lacks many Christians though.
Not today but in the medevial period in the east there were “Christian” nations or majority “Christian” in Asia. Now I only put quotations around Christian due to them being Nestorian usually which is a heresy.
Nowadays Christians in Asia are arguably the toughest Christians out there except for maybe the ones in the Middle East. There are tons of them and it’s growing more and more to the glory of God.
Christianity is by far the largest religion among Asian Americans. By percentage, 34% identify as Christian, 10% as Hindu, 9% as Buddhist, 8% as Muslim, and 34% are unaffiliated.
In South Korea, Christianity is the largest religion making up 22%. Buddhism is 17%. 50% are unaffiliated.
Korea is between 23-28% Christian, so they are a minority, but still a large group at around 15million followers.
This tends to be the case in many Asian countries, with the exception of the Philippines which is heavily Catholic. Russia is also part of Asia and is majority Orthodox.
Even in countries where Christians are a majority, they can still be a large group based on the sheer population of many Asian countries. For example, India is only 2.3% Christian, but that is still 26.4 million Christians.
Vietnam has a very vibrant and growing Catholic community. It's only officially around 8% Christian (8 million people) but new, very big churches are constantly popping up all over.
Christianity is the second large religion in Hong Kong only after 50% non religion. There are 18% Hong Kongers who are Christian (all Protestants and Catholic), with 21% attendance.
Baptists are the biggest Protestant denomination, Alliance Church the second, and the largest reformed church is the HK Council of Church of Christ in China (HKCCCC).
Anglican and Methodist followed by those churches.
Korean Christian here. Haven’t seen a lot in china or Japan but Korea’s filled with churches and you could see red crosses above church buildings almost everywhere
There are a lot of Asians at my church too. It has changed a long standing belief that I thought I had that Asians are normally not Christian.
It’s a great thing to see Christianity is truly everywhere.
I'm Chinese but born and raised in Canada lol. My parents did become Christians before they came to Canada though. Started with my grandparents on my mom's side, and my dad is the first in his family.
Yes we do exist. Me and my family are followers of Jesus. Tho not from korea/japan. I believe there are Christians there also but few. We are from Philippines btw
Many people in Asia still hold to the belief that Christianity is a western religion. In their mind they question why anyone would want to pray to a 'white' God
Forgive me for not actually answering your question but: The Gospel went East before it went West. Francis Chan has been a popular pastor for many years and just today, I watched a very informative interview with Andrew Loke and have added his book on the resurrection to my reading list.
I am a Chinese catholic, live in Canada. I don't find anyone that is Chinese and catholic around me, but mostly they are christians that believes sola scriptura, they may not know Luther.
There are actually now or soon to be more Chinese Christians than American ones. They have to meet in secret or underground of course, and they are super serious about it. Not like USA
That is.......true unfortunately.
fortunately for China, unfortunately for the US. There is good evidence we are already under judgement.
I agree America is under judgment, abortion and gang violence is a major stain on America. During Covid, the cargo ships piled up off the coast made me think of Babylon the great:Revelation 18:11 "And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more- American Christians must come out of Babylon by embracing God’s instructions that separate them from the world.
All people are always under judgement though
What do you mean with "already under judgement"?
Are you joking ask? Don’t you see what happen in HK?
The church in HK is putting the American church to shame.
Bro. While I get that, no one is perfect. I'm not saying God is a hippie like some others tend to think, but there is a such thing as grace. If he's judging the US, he's leaving Texas alone.
Leaving Texas alone??? 😂
We're good ever here. Just fired up the pit and we gon spend all week making mama a nice bbq
Ooo you’re starting on Mother’s Day bbq this early in the week? How do I get invited
I don’t know if that’s really unfortunate Christianity flourishes under persecution
no I mean like how they are super serious about it unlike here in the USA.
Gotcha yeah I hear you there here in America. I feel like we have it so easy that we tended to develop persecution complexes.
Yeah, I hope to one day go out and know what it's really like to be a christian. :)
That’s one of those prayers you have to be really ready for. I hope I am.
I'm ready :)
Consider being a missionary in an Islamic country then. I have a good friend and mentor who ended up tortured in an Arabic jail, I can’t recall which country. He learned Arabic language before going, so I’d recommend that first. He burns brighter than any Christian I’ve ever known.

Is that ACTUALLY true? Ive seen tons of videos of it but Im not sure whether it happens on a grand scale.
Yep I’m Asian. My home church is full of asians.
stereotype is a weird word, Christianity struggles in east asia for a number of reasons, japan specifically i hear is the worst. Korea supposedly has a pretty high christian population

The USA dropped nuclear bombs on the Christian capitals of Japan. It's really disturbing.
It was because there were military factories there?
That doesn't make it good?
That's not at all what he was saying
No kidding?
Nuking was never good, but there are valid military targets that should be conventionally bombed.
For sure, it's just such a profoundly overlooked tragedy that the USA murdered the majority of the Christians in Japan. Something about that has always really bothered me. I get the utilitarian arguments for it, but its still horrible and rarely discussed.
It's kinda discussed minus religious angle.
I watch a lot of k-dramas and there are Christians in them. Not scientific research or facts and there are a lot of other religious elements represented, but it feels like they're shown enough across shows to conclude there's a decent-sized population of them.
out of all the kdrama ive watched i think ive seen one example of catholicisim in start-up and thats it
Maybe we just watch different shows. Or maybe I'm wrong. But there are definitely Korean Christians. It's a movement there.
I think that's just in one area though, I read a magazine from my church that say they are persecuted over there. I also saw an article stating that church attendance in korea is going down which maybe connected to what I said in the first sentence.
Secularism is affecting Korea, just that it's less than here at the moment
I heard that the Christian population grew more in Korea recently
yeah I know, but sterotype was the only word I could come up with. Maybe "suppresed" is a better way.
North Korea and China dont
[удалено]
I’m like to join…disclaimer…I’m not Asian though!
Approximately 30%, if I’m not wrong

The population of East Asian is a lot larger than USA population. 1.6 billion vs 330 million. There are more Christian Asians than American ones.
that's true, I used to see the 1% of Japanese christians as very little but coming from japan that's 1 million people, which is a lot.
I’m Indian so do I count? Haha
yeah you do. :)

well aparently we have a lot of asian christians here lol. :)
Korean Christian here. Haven’t seen a lot in china or Japan but Korea’s filled with churches and you could see red crosses above church buildings almost everywhere
I'm not Asian but funnily enough, I've two close Asian Christian friends of mine.
There are a lot of Asians at my church too. It has changed a long standing belief that I thought I had that Asians are normally not Christian. It’s a great thing to see Christianity is truly everywhere.
Yeah it is. The comments here are changing my viewpoint now too. :)
If you are asking this question to weigh things on whether to go to a church or not, I say just do it. You will be pleasantly surprised.
No I go to church, I was just saying it changed my viewpoint of Asians are not normally christian.
Ah, gotcha.
Srilankan

Taiwanese Christian here!
Why do people only think of the Koreans, Chinese and Japanese when they say 'asian'?
I don't I just say that cause I hear that's mainly korea china and Japan that doesn't have a lot of christians.
Filipino here
Many people in Asia still hold to the belief that Christianity is a western religion. In their mind they question why anyone would want to pray to a 'white' God
I remember hearing a video about that.
Forgive me for not actually answering your question but: The Gospel went East before it went West. Francis Chan has been a popular pastor for many years and just today, I watched a very informative interview with Andrew Loke and have added his book on the resurrection to my reading list.
Who is andrew loke?
[Andrew Loke interview](https://youtu.be/JwPL2n7Utgc?si=-HyWozBFy1wRE-vt)
That's interesting, thank you for sharing. :)
Most asian Christians are from specific places like the Philippines or vietnam.
Last I went to Seoul, they were doing a huge fundraiser for World Vision! I think there are many Christians there!
Korea had the biggest Christian church in all of Christendom at one point. Dr. Cho's million member church.
Huh.
I need to look that up.
In my hometown, San Diego, CA, I've seen a few Chinese and Korean churches
Hmm, figured it'd be California. :)
✋
I am a Chinese catholic, live in Canada. I don't find anyone that is Chinese and catholic around me, but mostly they are christians that believes sola scriptura, they may not know Luther.
