In this episode, learn about how the global center of Christianity has shifted away from America and is now represented by young, female, black, or brown individuals from the Global South who are poor and uneducated. This shift impacts how missions should be approached, with a focus on equipping and training rather than traditional evangelism.
Dr. Allen Yeh, Professor of Intercultural Studies and Missiology at Biola University, discusses this shift in global Christianity and emphasizes the importance of understanding world Christianity as a subject. The trends that led to this change include the separation of colonialism from missions and the three-self movement, which promotes self-sustaining, self-propagating, and self-governing local churches.
Dr. Yeh explains how the Western Church should think differently about missions in light of this new paradigm.
