Here's a great post on the Desiring God Blog about African missionaries planting churches in a highly "post-religion" Western Europe. It's amazing that as Europe has "outgrown" religion at large, the gospel is exploding in other parts of the world, and they become the new bases for global outreach.
Christianity has been under attack since its beginnings, and if it was just another folklore movement, we should have seen it die out numerous times; especially in such a crossroads of culture, such as Western Europe. The Holy Spirit is continually working to illuminate the truth of the gospel to different people groups all around the world, and it is truly a testament and affirmation to the power of God that Christianity continues to thrive and grow.

And here too in the States - I attended church in NYC for many years and one of the pastors was a missionary to America from Australia! He brought a wonderfully fresh perspective.
