URGENCY OF THE TASK
As the second return of our Savior draws near, the spiritual battle will intensify , the world is changing very rapidly . At the beginning of this century 85% of the earth's population lived in rural areas. By the year 2000, 85% of the earth's population will live in urban areas.
The major trends of urbanization, political instability and increased mobility are reshaping the geo-social environment. The advances in science and technology are radically affecting the lives of people. The world, as we now know it will be drastically changed by telecommunication, super computers and super conductors.
Three changes present a rich opportunity for evangelizing the lost.. Missiology has shown that as new patterns of living uproot ancient traditions, people become open to new ways of thinking. Christian leaders must shape opportunities for word evangelism. The urgency of the task requires strategic leadership.
