How do you define SUCCESS?

I have written in the past that I believe  we are now in the early stages of the 4th Era of Modern Missions.   Missiologist Ralph Winter has analyzed Missions History since the 1700s and divided the time into 3 Eras:  The Era of the Coastlands 1792-1910, The Era of Inland Missions 1865-1980, The Era of People Groups 1934-the future.  In 2010 Missiologist Tom Steffen wrote a book called "The Facilitator Era" in which he proposed that around the year 2000, a new Era had begun.  This Facilitator Era has specific characteristics that I have talked about in a previous blog from May 20 of this year.  It is not my purpose to rehash that here, but I do recommend that you read that specific blog.

14th Annual Missions Conference was a Great Success!
