In a presentation to the Lausanne Younger Leaders’ gathering in Indonesia during August 2016 on the state of the church, Jason Mandryk, of Operation World, asserted that bythe year 2020, 80% of the world’s Christians would come from what is known as the Global South (Africa, Asia and Latin America). In the year 1900, there were reportedly around 9 million Christians on the African Continent.Todd Johnson asserts that in 2010, Africa was home to close to 500 million Christians, while Philip Jenkins estimates that by 2025, Africa will be home to 1.031 billion Christian believers! The spectacular growth of the church in the Global South, and especially Africa, has major implications for the global church. Having simply adopted Western models, I believe that we need to have a fresh look at how we do theology, missions and church in the Global South.
