What is trending is the Christian movements in the majority (non-western) world. How have Christians in different parts of the world, especially the non-western world, been engaging in missions today? What is the trend, and where are the sources and directions? Drawing from his recent book “World Christianity: A Historical and Theological Introduction” (Abingdon Press, 2018), Dr. Kima will be addressing these and other related questions and highlighting the state of missions in the global church today.
