Disturbing Statistics on World's Youth

OneHope, a children-oriented Christian ministry, found through research that 91 percent of youths in Costa Rica say they do not believe they will go to heaven despite claiming to have accepted Jesus Christ. In Spain, 74 percent of the youth say they do not want to be a virgin when they marry. And in Russia, 42 percent of the youth report having tried to commit suicide. In Sub-Saharan Africa the Christian population is above 50 percent but many nationals continue to engage in idolatry while attending church. Included in the research findings are insights on the daily lives of youths and their cultural beliefs regarding their relationships with families; behaviors and morals influencing their relationships with the opposite sex; social influences and future goals; and worldviews, beliefs and religious affiliations.
