Most evangelical leaders acknowledge that North America has become a mission field, but few realize how much of a mission field it has become! According to The Association of Religious Data Archives (www.thearda.com): 1) fewer than 1 out of 5 people in the U.S. (only 16.2%) identify themselves as evangelical Protestants; 2) fewer than 1 out of 2 (less than 49%) have any religious identity at all. This seminar looks closely at our changing world and what we, as congregational and associational leaders, can do to lead our churches to be more effective in fulfilling the Great Commission.
