About This Book

The author surveys global missionary progress and contends that increased accessibility, expanding Christian populations, and improved organization have created an unprecedented opportunity for evangelization. He highlights the rise of native churches and humanitarian institutions in formerly unreached regions and describes the growing efficiency of missionary societies, translation work, and strategic cooperation. North American resources and character are presented as especially suited to support a worldwide task, contingent on vision and consecration. A practical fourfold program—broadening outlook, systematic study and committee work, generous stewardship, and persistent prayer—is proposed to mobilize laymen for sustained, strategic missionary effort.
