We are privileged to be witnessing the greatest transition in world mission ever in history.\u00a0The gospel is exploding in the Majority World. Missionaries from countries closed to the gospel when I was born are going to the least, the last and the lost in every corner of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
YWAM Together 2024<\/a> convened 4,500 [people] from 110 nations in Manila [September 2-6] united in worshiping Jesus in many different languages\u2014Maori, Mongolian, Portuguese, Russian, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We rubbed shoulders with Nepalis working in Sao Paolo; Indians working in Istanbul; Brazilians working in Central Asia; Papua New Guineans, Chinese, Koreans, Moroccans, Ugandans, Russians, Ukrainians, Mongolians, Fijians, Belarusians, South Africans, Kenyans, Pakistanis, Argentinians, and many, many more nationalities engaged in integral missions on all continents. Those Mongolians had traveled by bus and boat for five days to join the gathering in Manila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Nepalis present reminded me of the YWAM team imprisoned for proselytism in the Himalayan state some three decades ago. Even today, conversions are still officially illegal. Despite these restrictions, the Nepali church is reported<\/a> to be the fastest-growing in the world. Some estimate the church to be three million strong, engaging one in ten Nepalis\u2014a thirty-fold increase since 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the rest of the story<\/a> with thoughts from Jeff Fountain and rejoice in what God is doing through YWAM and brothers and sisters from all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See also two stories with research and reflection about emerging generations in the Global South, Global Insight of the Next Generation<\/a> (Haggai International) and The Future of Faith: Reaching a New Generation around the World<\/a> (The Christian Post).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Evangelical Focus, September 9, 2024 We are privileged to be witnessing the greatest transition in world mission ever in history.\u00a0The gospel is exploding in the Majority World.
