Guest Speaker:

Prior getting into the contemporary challenges it’s important to understand the global and Indian scenario on the spread of missions.

I - Global Scenario:

Ralph Winter considers missions as three eras, but we will consider it as four eras.   

First Era: Coastal Missions 

The missionaries with the passion to reach the unreached were willing to travel to nook and corner of the world.  In those days, the only possible mode of transport for reaching far away continents was the ship sailing through oceans.  And it was logical the sea weary missionaries tried to establish them in the coastal areas or at islands.  Many of the known sea ports of that era saw missionary enterprise reaching out to the coastal regions.
