The last 30 years has seen a seismic ground shift in the makeup of the global church. The explosive growth of the church outside of western nations also means that missionaries are increasingly coming from outside the west.
Today, most of the church of resides outside of the western world. Mission thinkers are now saying that the American church comprises only 10% of the global church! The implications of this in regard to mission sending are enormous. Western Christians have a tremendous opportunity to embrace this new paradigm, and adopt an empowering posture for mobilizing and equipping this emerging missionary force.
In our day, we are witnessing the greatest non-western mission’s movement in history. What were once considered the missionary fields of the west, are now producing a powerful mission force. And with this change, new strategies are emerging. Preeminent among them is the need to train leaders.
This unique and potent strategy is what we refer to as: Frontier Mobilization! Everywhere we travel in the world, whether it is Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America or Europe, national believers are asking the western church not to replace or supplant their work, but to come alongside them as partners. Storyline is answering this call.
We are empowering, not replacing national leaders to reach the unreached within their borders and beyond.
