In our conversations with them, we explore what it means that the Majority World church is now a significant player in global missions, and how beneficial this shift is to the fulfillment of God\u2019s global mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple guests have mentioned that the largest churches in Europe were planted by Africans. One of these that we touch on briefly is in Ukraine. The current war was not a reality yet when we recorded this episode, so is not discussed. However, the devastation in Ukraine is real and the courage of the Ukrainian people is admirable. If you would like to help meet practical needs for Ukrainian refugees, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/unto.com\/survival\/\">https:\/\/unto.com\/survival\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/intervarsity.org\/\">Intervaristy<\/a> for permission to use the clip of Pastor Oscar Muriu; you can find his full talk at Urbana 2006 at <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/69504380\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/69504380<\/a>; it is well worth your 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bios and links for our hosts and guests can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/cru.org\/missionshift\">Cru.org\/MissionShift<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our journey exploring the changing face of global missions will span eight episodes, and then we will begin releasing longer versions of our interviews with the guests we hear from throughout the eight episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mission Shift is hosted by Carita Chen and Josh Irby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mission Shift is a production of Cru&#8217;s City Global team.
