The United States is a definite mission field, just like the rest of the world. Our country is NOT a Christian nation though many call it that. Please see the below map which shows the various religious beliefs scattered throughout the USA. As bad as the statistics are, remember that the so-called evangelical group, the one which should be closest to the true Biblical message, has been ruined beyond recovery by the heresies of once saved always saved, the Prosperity message and Ecumenical Unity, just to mention three.
According to this same map, the largest population of:
- Mormons is in Utah and Idaho;
- Jehovah’s Witnesses is in Montana and New Mexico;
- Catholics is in the New England states;
- Muslims is in Nevada;
- Evangelicals is in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the so-called “Bible belt.”

To find a Biblically sound local church in the United States now is extremely hard. Many dear saints would love to have such a local congregation in their area, but remain disappointed. In our day of apostasy, the saints have to learn to feed themselves spiritually and hold on to what they have, for often there will be no like minded Christian around to teach, correct, rebuke and/or encourage! Remember, we Christians are not left completely alone, as lonely as it might be, for the Holy Spirit (the Comforter) is with is. That however, doesn’t mean we can just relax and drift our way into God’s kingdom. We must remain guarded and carefully watch ourselves. It could always be worse than it is for us! Imagine what it was like for Lot in his day as he lived in Sodom! There were NO sound churches, prayer meetings or anything else that would spiritually edify him. You have it much better than he did! Rejoice in the Lord and continue to draw near him. Remember 2 Peter 1:5-10 as to what to add to your faith to make your calling and election sure.
