Why the Church is the West is now the number one mission field

When one surveys the church scene world wide, it is the American church that is now the mission field. The church in Africa and Asia(yes, even in China) are where efforts to make disciples are now most serious.The energy of church leaders must be turned toward enlisting younger men and women into apprenticeship to Christ. This assumes that existing leaders are living in such a way as to be good examples to the flock.I have concluded that the priorities of church leaders must shift from corporate markers of success to personal ones. For it is in the common and personal life, rather than the public life, that real spiritual power is located. That is why it is far more important to be a disciple than to have a plan to make disciples. When people are disciples, they will find a way to make other disciples. In fact, they won’t be able to stop themselves from doing it.
