Chile is a South American country, located on the extreme western coast of the continent. It is fairly wealthy, peaceful, literate, and relatively free of disease. Sounds good to me!
Spiritually, Chile is overwhelmingly "Christian," with a strong 86.1% of the population claiming to have a relationship with Christ.
Of course, there is no way to know how many of these are "cultural Christians:" people who claim to bs a Christian because if the way everyone else is, not off of a true belief in Christ. Without belief in Jesus, you cannot be saved. However, I am not here to call the belief of Chile into question; instead, let's rejoice in their belief!
Not everyone in Chile believes, sadly. 8.3% of the population is without any religious belief at all, 4.6% have some other belief, and 1.1% are Jehovah's Witnesses. That's still a lot of lost people.
Father, we pray first for the lost of Chile. We pray that they be convicted if their sin, and turn away from things of the world to focus on things of Your glory. We pray that the believers in Chile are set ablaze by the Spirit, and that, as David Crowder sings, You "come shake the ground with the sound of revival." We pray that a revolution begins in Your name, and if it begins in Chile, then that is fine with us. In Your name we pray, amen.
