apostles received the gift of the
holy spirit and set forth with
contagious zeal to "preach the
gospel into every living crea
ture." 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.

leader, ''five years at most" to
continue their work on the pres

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

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

of Churches, said the "challenge"
facing America's 210 missionary
