The New Context For Missions

• The Church has moved south
• There will soon be more active non-western
  missionaries than western.
• There is an increasing need for tentmakers in
  missions
• There is an increasing need for a holistic
  communication of the gospel
• The role of missionaries is shifting from leader
  to faciliator / networker.
