Synopsis:
Europe was the birthplace of the Reformation, Puritanism, several revival movements, modern theological studies. For many centuries, the European Church was the main missionary force in spreading the gospel all around the world. Sadly, Europe today has itself become a serious mission field. Throughout Europe, Christianity is no longer regarded as worth following. The decline of the Church in Europe would cause a crisis for world Christianity, in light of the fact that Europe has been the center of Christendom for almost 2000 years. In addition to that, Islam is advancing rapidly. We must know this phenomenon and pray for Europe, and most importantly, we must to something to reverse the current trend of church decline in Europe. I will explain such trend and phenomenon with specific statistics, and offer some strategies to reverse them.
Our God is a God of restoration, however. He will restore the honour of His name in Europe through His people. God is calling out those who will pray for the revitalisation of the Church in Europe, and who will share the gospel with many who have not yet heard of the love of Christ. The re-evangelisation of Europe is the greatest missionary task in this generation.
Different reports warn us that what is happening in Europe is already happening in North America as well. What must the North American Church do to slow down the church decline and to reverse the trend before it is too late?
