The report shows a growth spurt in developed lands (eg. +3% in US, +3% Australia, +3% France, +5% in Britain), but negative growth in developing countries (eg. -5% in Nigeria, -14% Central African Republic, -6% Congo, Dem. Rep, -4% Malawi, probably because of the access and cost of high-speed internet needed to witness since door-to-door ministry stopped. )
