Toward a New Strategic Narrative for North American Missions

BIG IDEA In A Few Words

The Great Commission community in North America needs a new strategic narrative that resonates with our rapidly changing global context and offers answers to important questions about our role in the world at this moment in history. It must provide guidance for retooling our systems and structures and redefine our relationship with the global church. Four fundamental global shifts provide the back story for this newly forming strategic narrative: from information scarcity to information abundance, from a closed system to an open system, from hard power to soft power and from gathering-based metrics to scattering-based metrics.
