Are Native Jamaicans (as the in the island country of Jamaica) accepting of Christianity? . .

 

[Father Heathen]

according to wikipedia:

Christianity is the largest religion practised in Jamaica. According to the 2001 census, the country's largest denominations are the Church of God of Prophecy (24% of the population), Seventh-day Adventist Church (11%), Pentecostal (10%), Baptist (7%), Anglican (4%), Roman Catholic (2%), United Church (2%), Methodist (2%), Moravian (1%) and Plymouth Brethren (1%)[60] The Christian faith gained credibility as British Christian abolitionists and Baptist missionaries joined educated former slaves in the struggle against slavery.[61]
The Rastafari movement had 24,020 adherents, according to the 2001 census.[60] Other religions in Jamaica include Jehovah's Witnesses (2% population), the Bahá'í faith, which counts perhaps 8,000 adherents[62] and 21 Local Spiritual Assemblies,[63] Buddhism, and Hinduism.[64] There is a small population of Jews, about 200, who describe themselves as Liberal-Conservative.[65] The first Jews in Jamaica trace their roots back to early 15th century Spain and Portugal.[66] Muslim groups in Jamaica claim 5,000 adherents.[60]

Not if there are people who have already "missionized" Jamaica.

Friend Biblestudent_007,

Your mission of missionizing a place not yet missionized is well understandable but to add *007* [licensed to kill] to your handle is not understood.
Are you preparing to go for the kill in your mission??
kindly enlighten us!
Love & rgds

I've heard Christians are persecuted and Christianity is forbidden in North Korea. I also am under the impression that Christianity is restricted in China.

You know, just because a certain area already knows the Christian story, the Bible and basic Christian faith and church, does not mean they have no need for a missionary. There are always dead churches that just practice "religious" Christianity and have no real faith, all they have is superstitions and rituals, ceremonies, sermons stories philosophies and no real faith, they may need the spark of the Holy Spirit, a revival, some true Christian faith, love, hope joy, grace to bring them back to life. And there are always people in the community who don't go to church and don't believe, people of other religions and denominations that need to know Christ. So just because and area has already been "Christianised" doesn't mean everybody or even the majority is Christian and even then they could be false fair weather or baby Christians in need of help, spiritual nourishment.
