Mexico

Unlike Chile and Brazil, Mexico has not experienced the dramatic and enduring expansion of its evangelical population. Although Protestants are probably undercounted in the 2001 census, which reports them at 5.2 percent of the population, it is unlikely that the number of Protestants has yet reached 10 percent of the population. ¹ Of these numbers, only about 20 percent affiliate with Pentecostal denominations headquartered in the United States (e.g. Assemblies of God, Foursquare Church) and the rest tend to be from native evangelical churches. Protestant denominations have been growing rapidly in recent years and at the current rate of growth, Protestants could double their numbers in the next five years.
