This is a different form of map: a chronological scattergraph of the world’s countries measured by percent evangelized (E%, from the World Christian Encyclopedia). The colored bands represent the three categories: majority Christian (green), evangelized non-Christian (yellow) and majority unevangelized (red).
In 1900, many countries were deeply in the red section. Seventy years later, as a result of much evangelistic work, many of the countries had risen high in the red, and many had crossed into the yellow and green bands.
By 2005, only a handful of countries are less than 30% evangelized. Most are quite close to moving out of World A. Nevertheless, because of the tapering off of activity amongst the unevangelized, by 2025 it is likely that there will still be many countries in the unevangelized bands.
