4 Questions to Help Us Think About Missions

July 3, 2009  |  By: Bill Walsh  |  Category: Commentary, International Outreach

Lon Allison's article "A GPS for Global Mission" from Lausanne World Pulse sums up well the current questions and issues relevant to the global changes underway in the church. At this stage, I think questions are more helpful than anything. Here are four that Dr. Allison raises,

  1. Since the demographic shift to the Global South is at hand, how do Western mission agencies and churches respond?
  2. Resources, both financial and human, have, in general, not shifted. When should they? More importantly, how should they?
  3. How does the Church in the West welcome missionaries from the Global South and East to re-evangelize our continents?
  4. What role is there for ongoing mission to the Global South and East from the West?

These ought to keep us thinking for quite some time. They will be key in the discussion that takes place at the 2010 Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Cape Town, South Africa.

Please pray for John Piper who will be speaking at the event and for the Desiring God team who will be traveling there next year.
