The Changing Face of Missions

With the world changing at an ever increasing pace and the church striving to be both faithful to the Gospel and relevant to the modern situation, how should we engage in missions today? Steve will give us a glimpse of the current state of world Christianity, point out some strategic issues in the mission task remaining, and provide us with key principles for getting the task done.
