Secular leftists in America, you failed! Universities and colleges are helping to create one of the biggest waves of Christianity in history (see: Cracks in the atheist edificeThe Economist, November 1, 2014)

While you are spending your time preventing Anne Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking at University of California, Berkeley, Christian missionaries on college campuses are causing one of biggest declines in global atheism in history. Secular leftists, when are you going to learn? You can't fight the Almighty and win! 

A January 2011 news article entitled Third Church' China's New Face of Christianity indicated:

Christianity in China began decades ago in the countryside, but today, a dramatic shift is happening. 
Young professionals in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are changing the face of Chinese Christianity, as faith moves from rural to more urban areas.
On a recent Wednesday evening, a group of men and women in their late 20s met in an apartment not too far from the city center to discuss how to thrive in their rapidly changing nation. 
Those who attended are members of China's new privileged class -- highly educated, cosmopolitan, middle or even upper class of urban professionals. And they're all Christians. 
"We've never had it so good in China today," Jia Li Tian, a member of the group, told CBN News. "But there's more to life that just money and materialism."... 
Although Christianity continues to grow in China's countryside, experts say it's in big cities like Beijing where the church is growing fastest. 
"Whereas the rural church was not able to have an impact on society as a whole, the 'Third Church' in the cities is able to do that because they are comprised of leaders who can have an impact," Peter explained. "[They are] businessmen, government officials, professors, leaders in engineering, every aspect of life... 
The Chinese government has always maintained a tight grip on religion. Torture, arrests, imprisonment, and beatings of Christians are still practiced in the country. 
But in recent years, authorities have made positive overtures towards house church leaders -- especially those in urban areas

Admittedly, a large percentage of students who study in America and convert to Christianity backslide and leave Christianity, nevertheless the ones who remain Christians - particularly evangelical Christians - are causing an explosion of Christianity in China (For details see articles below).

Chinese pastor who was lame from his youth supernaturally healed. His atheist family converts to Christianity



The Christian Post reports:
A Chinese pastor who suffered much persecution for spreading Christianity in the officially atheist country, sent the faith of a global gathering of Christians soaring Wednesday when he testified how his entire atheist family turned to God after he was healed of an illness that had left him crippled in his youth through prayers to Jesus.
