How to Foment a City-Wide Missions Movement: Lessons from Singapore

Abstract

Singapore is a small country. It sends few missionaries. But if you calculate the number of missionaries sent vs. the number of Christians back home in the churches, it’s a different story. The churches of Singapore in the early 1990s were (and probably still are) sending out missionaries at twice the rate of the churches of North America. In other words, if the churches of North America were to send out missionaries at the same rate as the churches of Singapore, the missionary force from North America would immediately double.
