A New Century and a New Understanding of Mission

Today, we have different challenges to deal with in mission, due to our western culture we have to deal with an exceeding increase of narcissism due to the advances in technology, science, and industrialization. People have become more self-focused and seek interpersonal relationships that benefit themselves rather than others. The views of Christianity in the eyes of these people does not look appealing in any way, and sadly this narcissistic mind set has seeped into our church. We must understand the need to address these situations in how we do missions, and adapt new ways of doing mission while keeping and expressing the foundational truths of what we believe. Technology is on a continual advance and in the last decade we have new obstacles to adapt to, such as the iPhone, video games, and etc, but we also have new tools such as web pages, facebook, and etc. at our disposal to spread the knowledge of God's mission, which is a new look into a method of doing missions.
