I read recently The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity by Philip Jenkins. This blockbuster book examines the major shift of the mission world. The author believes that in coming generations, revival and gospel advancement will take place south of the equator predominantly Africa and South America as they become truly Christian countries. In juxtaposition, the West will become more and more nominally Christian so that at some point the Southern hemisphere may be sending missionaries our way.
The book is an excellent expose of this trend, and a must for those serious about missions, thinking about direction of missions, and the state of the church in the West.
