The Future of the Global Church

The Future of the Global Church:
History, Trends and Possibilities
By Patrick Johnstone (IVP)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“After six editions of Operation World and 30 years of statistically analyzing the progress of global Christianity, Patrick Johnstone has now meticulously assembled a database of information in The Future of the Global Church that will propel the reader into new and exciting realms of prayer, giving and mission. This unique body of knowledge provides a treasure chest of resources to understand the current demographics of global challenges, 20 centuries of mission history, the major streams of world religions, the six megablocs of world Christianity, global Christian renewal movements, the explosion of evangelicalism, the global distribution of the unevangelized, and predictions regarding the future of God’s kingdom.” —Professor Robert Gallagher, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
