ABSTRACT
Much has been made in recent years of the fact that the church in the Third World has taken on the mantle of missions instead of simply being its recipient. The evangelical Christians of North America cheerfully pay any amount to go to a concert. They fill the civic center for worship sessions and even intercessory spiritual-warfare conventions. In the Spanish-speaking world, the church is showing its evangelistic priority through missions. Argentina, Brazil, and other nations in Latin America have joined Asian nations, such as South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore, as missionary-sending nations. The division between missionary-sending and missionary-receiving nations has been obliterated. The national majority in America, the Anglo-Saxons, must overcome its fear of the city, where minorities are the majority. America's cities are the target of political action, social action, and all sorts of government programs with good intentions which include those in middle and upper-class churches, have no idea how to relate to minorities spiritually.
