  1. Kingdom Thinking Completing The Task

  2. World Population: 7 Billion 33% include Christians of all kinds. 40% are reached (or evangelized) non-Christians. 27% are unreached (i.e.unevangelized) non- Christians.

  3. Foreign Missionaries 429,000 Missionaries from all branches of Christendom (Only between 2 and 3% of those missionaries work among unreached peoples.)

  4. Missionary presence

  5. Annual Global Church Finance in US Dollars 15,500 Billion - Total Annual Income 300 Billion - Giving to Christian Causes (1.8% of total income of 15,500 Billion) 17 Billion - To Foreign Missions (5.7% of 300 Billion or 0.11% of 15,500 Billion)

  6. Annual Global Church Finance in US Dollars Where Foreign Mission Funds are Spent ~87% goes for work among those already Christian (14.8 Billion). ~12% for work among already Evangelized but Non-Christian (2.04 Billion). ~1% for work among still Unevangelized and Unreached people groups (0.17 Billion)

  7. Finances Worldwide, believers give $17 billion on average to missions 5.5% of all giving to Christian causes, or about $2,125 a year per church. To make up an additional $600 million needed would require only $80 more per year from each church! Only 80 cents more a year per person! If the U.S. 144 million born again adults, the cost would be only an extra $4.16 each.

  8. Average Ministry Cost in U.S. Dollars for Each Convert's Baptism Mozambique 1400 (least) Ethiopia 2700 (2nd) Nepal 3700 (5th) Cambodia 4300 (8th)

  16. 3% CROSS-CULTURAL MISSIONARIES WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

  17. How many Christians to send 1 missionary?* *includes only Protestant, Anglican and Independent

  18. Personnel There are 800 million Great Commission Christians in the world. Assuming an average church size of 100 persons, we only need one new missionary from every 250 churches in order to send out the additional 32,000 that are needed!

  19. Prayer Prayer is something that everyone can do. Using the “hour a day” method, a church of about 50 praying members could readily supply the prayer support for an entire team of four missionaries if they only prayed 5 minutes a day.

  20. What’s It Going To Take? Priorities Mobilizing Sacrifice Partnership Prayer

  21. Group Questions & Prayer Taking our temperature: • How are our churches doing? • How are we leading by example? • What can we do financially? • How can we send more personnel? • What strategies of prayer can we develop?
