Understanding The Global Church October 22, 2024October 18, 2024 thewaitingworld Global missions writer, statistician, and Director of the Center For The Study of Global Christianity for Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Todd Johnson, explains in this 5-minute video how missions has radically changed from the 1900’s to the 2020’s. For the people in the Western nations, we are now seeing massive movements and mission efforts actually outpacing the West and Europe from Asia, Africa, and elsewhere. In the 1900’s, 82% of Christians came from either Europe or the West, while only 18% came from “the Global South” (Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South and Central America). Today, there is a dramatic shift! About 67% of Christians live in the Global South, while only 32% live in North America and Europe! What caused the change? Johnson, a life-long student of global missions, tells us why. Body of Christ, our job isn’t finished! How can you mobilize your own church to help finish the Great Commission?
