Indonesian megachurch does it right

This young pastor established a church in the most populated Muslim country in the world and a large majority of people that go to the church are young people.

While in the West you have more and more young people abandon the church, this guy does the opposite in a land that has worse Christian persecution than in the West.

Not surprising to me. Christianity in the West is little like the real thing. People are rejecting a fake "Christianism". Also, the western world's rebellious culture makes it hard for people to submit to authority. We are seeing what Lord Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24: 9-12,

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold."

That's the secret....and the culture.

In USA, the parents have virtually no authority over their children by law.

My brother has been a missionary in Indonesia for years. The reason Christianity is growing there is NOT because we’re doing something wrong in America. Indonesia is several years behind us in terms of education and values. They’re largely muslim, but many are purely cultural Muslims. They are already theists, but are more open to receiving aid and the gospel message from Christians.

in America, Christianity is losing numbers to Atheism and Agnosticism. It’s a completely different battle. I attribute the west’s youth exodus from church to modern education (something Indonesia doesn’t have)
