Recently, a Christian foundation based in Colorado Springs asked GMI to brief their board of directors on the major trends in global Christianity. This is something for which GMI is well-positioned, as we constantly interact with data on the world and its religious landscape. I picked a color scheme for the report graphics, and we designed many maps for the report.
Here is an example below. This map shows where the world’s major religions are clustered. The many visualizations in the briefing will hopefully help the foundation’s leadership to make better decisions about where to give their resources. John 4:35 says, “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” Information on topics such as religions, health, and population can help leaders see where the greatest needs are and to direct resources to assist in spreading the Gospel.
