Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1900 there were only 9 million Christians on the African continent. Today, the once dark-continent is home to nearly half a billion believers and growing at a rate of 23,000 new converts a day! A dramatic “southern shift” has taken place in the last 100 years that many in the West have never heard about. Today, most of the world’s Christians live in Africa, Asia and South America—the new global South. Here is a short introduction to world Christianity written by a pastor-scholar who discusses some of the exciting opportunities this presents for the Western church. This is a must-read book for every Christian who has a heart for global missions. Based on ground-breaking research that is illustrated throughout with real stories from the global church, A New Kind of Missionary will leave you wondering why a book like this wasn’t written sooner.
