info_outlineThe world has changed drastically in the last few decades. The success of the missions endeavor has turned past missionary fields into powerful missionary forces. Doors that are closing to Westerners are opening to those from the Majority World. In some places, globalization is yielding to nationalism. There is growing concern in the West about possible negative impacts of our going on those we go to. The pandemic has drastically altered travel and virtual engagement. In the face of these–and more–changes, how does the American church fit into global missions? What is our best contribution now? And what is the role of those in congregations across the US?
Our journey will span eight episodes, and then we will begin releasing longer versions of our interviews with the guests we hear from throughout the eight episodes.
