or by divine intervention?

Why would God knowingly place people in Countries which are 99% Muslim, or place people in countries which are plagued by corruption, tribal wars and famine?
--Wouldn't God just make sure everyone was born in the West, just to make sure they at least have heard of the bible and Jesus and the odds wouldn't be that they were born into Islam?

Acts 17:26-27 makes it clear that God predetermines where (and when) we will be born. Why He decided I should be born in the U.S. and Winston Churchill was born in the U.K. is completely up to His providence. I don't question it because I trust He knows what He's doing!

Hey... that's odd... I was born in the West, read the Bible, was raised a Catholic too.. I am now a follower of Islam.. guess these "freak odds" don't really have much to do with it..

Africa is saturated with Christianity and was so even before it hit western Europe. St. Augustine was, after all, African. Consider this: 60% of the world's Christians live outside America and Western Europe.

I did some math calculations to this one time for a project you have a 1:20,000 (roughly) of being born in america vs the rest of the world. :P

God doesn't make the best choices no one will ever know why he makes the decisions he makes
