Evangelism, Urgent Still

 

Christianity Today has an article titled "What's Next?"  which is an appraisal of what will be the key issues for Christianity in the next 50 years. 

One part of it says, "There are 3.5 million churches worldwide, but fewer than 7 percent are evangelistic.  That's a huge issue now and will be for the next 50 years, according to leading evangelists who spoke to Christianity Today."

Alarming figure. 

I am glad GLORY is pushing for the Evangelism Explosion program.  We are doing EE in our second quarter now (in the Mandarin side).  We are proud to be in the 7 percent.  I am sad the percentage is so small.

Being labeled "evangelistic" may or may not mean they actually evangelize. Perhaps there are some churches who call themselves evangelical but dont pursue evangelism actively. Or perhaps there are other churches who don't label themselves "evangelical" but do pursue evangelism on many levels. Being "evangelical" is almost a denominational label. I'm sure there are millions of untold or unlabeled accounts of evangelism happening all over the world.

Response to eCsuPA above:

I believe the article is talking about being EVANGELISTIC, not about being evangelical.  Being evangelistic is about the tendency to evangelize.  I was surprised at the small number of percentage also.
