The Compelling Need for a United, Coordinated Effort
These are just some of the huge challenges Christ's Church faces as we stand at the brink of a new millennium. Given the overpowering nature of the world's need, it is essential that Christ's global force be able to unite and
coordinate our mission for those in need of His loving deliverance. Though there have been many spiritual breakthroughs in world mission over the last several decades through united evangelical movements such as World Evangelical
Fellowship, the Lausanne Movement for World Evangelization, and the AD2000 and Beyond Movement, much remains to be done to defragment and better integrate our isolated and autonomous efforts. Needless duplication and waste of
human and material resources still must be reduced. More importantly, we must intentionally practice the organic unity that Jesus said would cause the world to believe in Him.
