  • Missions in the Third Millennium by Stan Guthrie
    Missions in the Third Millennium by Stan Guthrie Note: The following is from the book by the same title as this article. The author, Stan Guthrie, is now with Christianity Today magazine and is the former editor of Evangelical Missionary Quarterly and World Pulse. In his book, Mr. Guthrie highlights characteristics and challenges of modern day missions. The vitality that marks the most dynamically missionary churches is today most readily observed in the great continents of Africa, Asia, and South America. That this should be so is not surprising, since Christianity has seldom, if ever, remained healthy and vigorous within rich, dominant societies. The North American component of the global Christian missionary force is, accordingly, a steadily diminishing proportion of the whole. In 1900 there were an estimated 16,000 missionaries, most of these from Europe, Great Britain, and North America. Today, the total number is some 420,000, with a mere 12-15 percent of these hailing from Western lands. In 1900, the total number of distinct and organizationally separate denominational bodies in the world stood at 1,880. Today the estimate stands at more than 30,000, a majority of these outside of North America and Europe. Some 4,000 people groups in the world have no viable Christian witness, according to missions statistician David Barrett. There are an estimated 1.556 billion people in the world who have never heard the Gospel. The number of people born in the non-Christian world grows by 129,000 a day, or 47 million a year. Clearly, if fulfilling the Great Commission depends on seeing that everyone hears, it is nowhere near completion.

  • History of Missions
    History of Missions In Suriname, they say: “Learn from others and don’t make them learn from you.” They mean that we should study history to avoid the mistakes of the past. Some have said: Those who ignore history will repeat the mistakes of the past. We have a glorious history of God’s dealing with mankind. Let’s learn from it. I will mention that the first few pages outline briefly the missions emphasis of the Bible. This is covered in much more detail in the section on Theology of Missions. The reader who has already studied that section might want to just skim or even skip over the first few pages to the sections beginning with the church fathers. When we take a dispensational view of history, we can break the history in the Bible into seven segments. The first three are included in a time that God was dealing with all mankind. The first, of course, was the time of innocence, from the creation of Adam and Eve to their fall into sin. The second was the time of conscience, when man, now knowing good and evil, had a conscience to show him what he should do. But with a sin nature, man inevitably chose what was evil, and not good. Eventually God judged mankind, and only eight humans survived the flood. Third, we reach the time of human government, extending from the flood to the tower of Babel. Mankind refused to fill the earth, but rebelled to set up a human kingdom. God judged them and dispersed them by changing their languages.

  • Quotes from MISSIONS in the THIRD MILLENNIUM
    Missions in the Third Millennium (21 Key TRENDS for the 21st Century) by Stan Guthrie, Paternoster Publishing, Waynesboro, GA, 2000 (77 Quotes selected by Doug Nichols) 1. Missions Becoming Stronger In Less Prosperous Countries. The Christian “center of gravity” is no longer the West whose Christian confidence has been steadily leavened by the subliminal agnosticism that almost always accompanies prosperity (Rev. 3:14-20). The vitality that marks the most dynamically missionary churches is today most readily observed in the great continents of Africa, Asia, and South America. That this should be so is not surprising, since Christianity has seldom, if ever, remained healthy and vigorous within rich, dominant societies. The North American component of the global Christian missionary force is, accordingly, a steadily diminishing proportion of the whole. In 1900 there were an estimated 16,000 missionaries, most of these from Europe, Great Britain, and North America. Today, if we use David Barrett‟s more expansive definition for foreign missionaries (not limited to those who earn their living as missionaries), the total number is some 420,000, with a mere 12-15 percent of these hailing from Western lands. [Page xii] 2. Growing Numbers Outside of North America and Europe. In 1900, the total number of distinct and organizationally separate denominational bodies in the world stood at 1,880. Today the estimate stands at more than 30,000, a majority of these outside of North America and Europe. [Page xiii] 3. The Great Commission. Mission, the outward focus of people who want to share the good news of Jesus Christ with peoples who don‟t necessarily want to hear about him, has always been God‟s idea first.

  • The Tailenders a Film by Adele Horne
    n o s a e P.O.V. 19S Discussion Guide The Tailenders A Film by Adele Horne www.pbs.org/pov P.O.V. n o The Tailenders s Discussion Guide | a 19e S Letter from the Filmmaker LOS ANGELES, MAY 2006 Dear Colleague, I became aware of the recordings and unusual audio players that Global Recordings Network produces because I grew up in an evangelical Christian family. One day in the mid-1970s we received a package in the mail from a missionary friend. It contained a record player made out of a piece of cardboard folded into a triangle. A small phonograph needle protruded from one edge of the cardboard. The 78-rpm record that came with it had a hole drilled near the center so that you could stick a pencil in and turn it by hand. The record played the story of Noah on one side and a message about “Christ Our Savior” on the other. The simplicity of this device, which worked without speakers or electric power, made a lasting impression on me. Twenty years later I decided to learn more about the organization that made it. I became completely fascinated by the story of how Global Recordings Network makes and distributes recordings of Bible stories in indigenous languages. A missionary named Joy Ridderhof founded the organization in 1939 in Los Angeles, a few miles away from famous radio evangelists Aimee Semple MacPherson and Charles Fuller. Like them, Ridderhof believed in the power of media and entertainment to spread the gospel message. She remembered how crowds had gathered around gramophones in the Honduran villages where she had worked as a missionary, and decided that rather than compete with this burgeoning medium, she would use it to preach.
