The Future of Global Missions – 28 September 2023

About the event

In our Christian witness, are non-Christians encountering the Jesus of all peoples? 

This webinar will introduce you to Christian missions around the world and offer a surprising and encouraging view of its future. It will summarise some of the main findings of the World Christian Encyclopedia, 3rd edition (Edinburgh University Press).

You will hear remarkable challenges, such as:

• Christians and Muslims together represented only 33% of the world’s population in 1800. By 2020 this is about 57% and is expected to surpass 66% sometime before 2100.
  

• Evangelicals invest 100 times more church planting efforts where there are many Christians than where there are few.
  

• An estimated 87% of Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims do not personally know a Christian.

• Our projection for 2050 shows 2 out of 5 non-Christians with no Gospel access or 28% of the world’s population having never heard the Gospel.
