EP34 - Missionaries in an Age of Global Christianity with Dr. Todd Johnson

Описание: How has missions-sending shifted? Are missionaries still going to places where the church already exists? In this episode of the podcast, Dave has a conversation with Dr. Todd M. Johnson.

Johnson is the co-director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and the co-author of the World Christian Encyclopedia (2nd and 3rd editions).

This episode is packed with relevant research that will assist you and your team in strategic planning for mobilizing more missionaries.

Some of the questions discussed:



-What significant geographical missionary-sending and receiving changes have occurred in the last 20-50 years?


-What are some of the reasons why most missionaries go to places where the church already exists?


How can missionaries sent from the West better partner with our brothers and sisters from the Global South?


-Do you have any data on U.S. churches ministering cross-culturally to the diaspora in the States?


-What might need to shift in missionary training as we prepare students for the changing landscape of the missions field?
