Pentecost 1357 finds the mod ern church still trying to com plete that mission. But many church leaders are deeply dis couraged about the present state and the future outlook of for eign missionary efforts. On the surface, it is see any reason for their pessi mism. Christianity today has about 800 million followers through out the world more than twice as many as the next largest faith (Buddhism). American Protest ants are supporting 23.500 mis sionaries in more than 100 coun tries, an increase of about 25 per cent since 1952. The Roman Catholic church, which was send ing missionaries to this country at the start of this century, now has 5.000 American-born mis sionaries at work in other lands. The Statistics But these statistics, which ! will be cited in many Pentecost sermons, don't tell the whole story. Here are some other facts: The relative number of Christians in the world has been dropping steadily for a quarter of a century, from 37 per cent of the world population in 1930 to about 30 per cent today. Budd hism, Mohammedanism, Hindu ism and other Oriental religions once considered moribund arc powerfully resurgent in many countries of Asia and Africa. In Africa, where Christians constitute Derhaps 10 per cent of the population, racial tensions have produced a situation in which white missionaries have. in the words of one Lutiieran leader, ''five years at most" to continue their work on the pres ent basis. Leaders of major U. S. denom inations believe the handwriting on the wall of history is already tive Christian witness in these areas lies in strengthening their local churches under native lead ership, and gradually turning the evangelical task over to them. A major step in this direction was taken last March, when Christian leaders from 14 Asian countries met at Prapat. Indo nesia, and formed the East Chris tian Conference. The avowed hard to ' ?oa' new reS'onal body difficult. It is persuading West ern Christians to continue large scale financial support, which the "younger churches" of Asia and Africa require for survival, without insisting on foreign con trol, which will not be tolerated much longer. Dr. Eugene L. Smith, chair man of the Foreign Missions Di visions of the National Council of Churches, said the "challenge" facing America's 210 missionary sending agencies can be summed up in these words: "To make their occasionally the person, or the "poor, hard-working missionary' he is supporting?
