Guidelines for Communication in Church and Mission
Eshenaur, Ruth M. Asian Center for Theological Studies and Mission 1988 ACTS 신학저널 Vol.3 No.-
"There are vastly more winable people in the world today than ever before," claims Dr. Donald McGavran, the father of the church growth movement. Patrick J. Johnstone, international research secretary of Worldwide Evanglization Crusade and author of Operation World, says that "the last ten years have been the most dramatic harvest the world has ever seen." These claims are based on the fact that the church, in Asia for example, which is growing at a rate of seven to ten percent, can be expected to double every seven to ten years. Rapid growth can also be seen in the number of Third World missionaries. According to Larry Pate, a missionary with O.C.Ministries who trains non-western issionary personnel around the wolrd, the number of cross-cultural missionaries in developing countries is growing five times faster than in the west so that there are now at least 20,000 missionaries from Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Along with these encouraging developments, the increasing militancy of traditional religions, the closing doors to conventional missionary activity, and the rapid secularization and urbanization of the world portend increasing opposition to the gospel in large segments of the world's population. One indication of this trend is the fact that the number of people who profess to be atheists or nonreligious rose from.2 percent in 1900 to 20.8 percent of the world's population in 1980. Western church attenders cease to be practicing Christians at the rate of 7,600 per day so that 2,224,800 per year either convert to other religions or to no religion. Both the opportunities and obstacles to world evangelism demand that the church develop more effective methods for communicating the gospel and for nurturing believers in the faith in the Third World, where Christians now comprise 65 percent of the world's evangelicals, and indeveloped countries which are rapidly being secularized.
