Christianity began in Jerusalem (modern day Israel) at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, within a few years it had spread across the Roman Empire, despite persecution, so that within twenty to thirty years it had spread all over the Mediterranean area. The Apostle Paul wrote to churches founded across modern day Turkey, Greece, Italy, and many other areas around the Mediterranean Sea between 20 - 40 years after Jesus walked the earth. In addition to this, some of Jesus' followers took the message of Christianity to Africa, India, Spain and eventually Britain. Within three hundred years Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire which spread over most of Europe and northern Africa. Within a few hundred to a thousand years it had spread to most countries in the world. Nowadays, Christianity is the most widespread religion in the world with the most believers by far - more than any other religion. It is the predominant religion in Europe, North and South America, most African countries, Australasia, Russia, some Asian countries (eg parts of India) and some countries in the Far East. It is only absent from mainly fundamentalist moslem countries in the Middle East, or countries that are, historically, Buddhist (eg Tibet) or Shinto (eg Japan) or Hindu (eg parts of India) or of other minority religious persuasion, or in oppressive countries where all religion, Christian or not, is banned (eg North Korea). The numbers of Christians is growing daily. Growth in the Far East is astronomical - in South Korea there is one church that started in the 1950s with just 5 members that now numbers 830,000 members - all of which meet in a vast hall at several sittings each Sunday. In China, the numbers of Christians in the 1960s were around 5000 whilst today the figure is nearer 100 million - and still rising.
