Getting Ready for Mission in the 1990s: What Should We Be Doing to Prepare?

Abstract

By using secular information we can leant much about the “signs of the times.” It is more important for Christians to interpret this future from God's viewpoint, preparing always for the unpredictable. The Bible predicts the second advent and the millennium, and the way in which the church views its future in light of these is significant. Planning, coordination of activity, learning from past failures, preparing for persecution, and establishing priorities are identified as crucial in getting ready for mission in the 1990s.
