                                                                            21 in 21:
                                          20-SOMETHINGS AND 21ST CENTURY MISSION
                                                                  

 

 

 






















Some bemoan the limited interest by the younger generation in global mission...

Others describe current 20-somethings as the most globally minded generation ever...

What's the role of a 21-year-old in 21st Century mission? What's the role of churches and missions agencies in the missional calling of 20-somethings? These are the questions that drove our most recent Global Learning Center (GLC) Symposium. Copies of some of the audio and visual presentations are available for download below. Click here for a rough sketch of the symposium in notes.
