On July 8, 2017, I did a Skype presentation to a church conference in Pennsylvania. I was in Dallas, Georgia. I gave two 90-minute lectures: "Planting Churches" and "Building Churches."
I recorded "Planting Churches" for YouTube on November 22, 2017. It deals mainly with foreign missions. We are in the early stages of the greatest missions explosion in the history of the church. This is not widely reported.
For background on the next development of Christendom, read Prof. Philip Jenkins' 2002 article, "The Next Christianity."
Then read his book, The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity (2011).
Read the article by David and Paul Watson, "A Movement of God Among the Bhojpuri of North India." (If this page dies, go here.)
Next, read Contagious Disciple Making (2014), by David and Paul Watson.
