Deliver us from poverty

Kostas Maros

No denomination is growing faster than the Pentecostal movement. Today, it has 500 million members—a quarter of the world's Christians. Miraculous healings, prophecy, and speaking in tongues are integral parts of church services. Those who undoubtedly benefit from the movement are the pastors. The most successful among them travel from one service to the next by private jet.
