Mission Shift: “Rise of the Majority World Church”

Mul­ti­ple guests have men­tioned that the largest churches in Europe were planted by Africans. One of these that we touch on briefly is in Ukraine. The current war was not a reality yet when we recorded this episode, so is not dis­cussed. However, the dev­as­ta­tion in Ukraine is real and the courage of the Ukrain­ian people is admirable. If you would like to help meet prac­ti­cal needs for Ukrain­ian refugees, please visit https://unto.com/survival/

Many thanks to Inter­varisty for per­mis­sion to use the clip of Pastor Oscar Muriu; you can find his full talk at Urbana 2006 at https://vimeo.com/69504380; it is well worth your 30 minutes.

Bios and links for our hosts and guests can be found at Cru.org/MissionShift.

Our journey explor­ing the chang­ing face of global mis­sions will span eight episodes, and then we will begin releas­ing longer ver­sions of our inter­views with the guests we hear from through­out the eight episodes.

Mission Shift is hosted by Carita Chen and Josh Irby.
