Q1. Why are assessments of the progress of world evangelization, such as Mandryk’s “State of the Gospel,” important? Describe the impact of an example of a similar assessment from an earlier time (mentioned in the lesson) and describe the impact it had. (3
pts)
These evaluations assist us in understanding our intended direction. As noted, a mere 2.5% of foreign missionaries serve in unreached regions, while a significant 80% operate in predominantly Christian areas (Mandryk). The involvement of women in missions was previously overlooked. While they participated in missionary endeavors, they often faced barriers to leadership roles. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, women persevered and played a pivotal role in spreading the message of God worldwide.
Q2. What was William Carey’s motto? Why are both parts essential? Does the sequence make a difference? (3 pts)
"Anticipate remarkable deeds from God. Aspire to accomplish remarkable deeds for God."
God initiates greatness, and it is our duty to reciprocate by undertaking great endeavors for Him. This underscores the significance of these two passages. Let us foster hope and endeavor to collaborate in this endeavor. If we attempt before fostering hope, we may encounter failure and disillusionment. Our actions are driven by anticipation, not by precedence. Anticipate remarkable
deeds from God. Aspire to accomplish remarkable deeds for God.
Q3.
What does Mandryk mean by “mission from everywhere to everywhere”? (2 pts)
The concept of mission has evolved beyond merely dispatching missionaries from one location to another globally. It now entails mobilizing individuals from diverse locations to regions where
the gospel has not yet been spread.
Q4.
The Moravian movement used the motto “That the Lamb who was slain will receive the reward of His suffering.” Explain how this phrase motivated them. Do you think this type of motivation belongs in the lives of today’s missionaries? Why or why not? (3 pts)
The Moravian motivation, rooted in Christ's transcendent love, emphasizes the salvation of humanity above all else. Their deep comprehension of Christ's suffering emboldened them to preach the gospel fearlessly.
I believe modern missionaries should embody a similar understanding. However, it's undeniable that the world has undergone significant changes; persecution is no longer as prevalent a concern. Consequently, many missionaries may lack the radical zeal once seen, opting instead for gentler and slower approaches to mission work.

Secular trading companies and their efforts to make money
c.
The Irish peregini and how far they traveled with the gospel

Q9. What proposal does William Carey make for the “the use of means for the conversion of the heathens”? (1 pt)
The British should use their power to Christianize the world.
Protestant churches should send missionaries directly rather than form sodalities like the Catholics.
Mission stations should be established to extract the heathen from their non-Christian surroundings.
Mission societies should be formed to send and support missionaries.
Q10.
Describe at least four ways women have played an essential role in mission efforts throughout history. (4 pts.)
The book of Acts illustrates how God used Priscilla to spread His message in Rome, Greece, and
Asia Minor.
Following the Civil War, women established their mission boards since existing missionary boards declined to send them.
Elizabeth Greene played a pivotal role as one of the founders of Mission Aviation Fellowship.

The instructor has effectively highlighted the importance of dedication and passion in missionary
work, using historical figures like Taylor and Townsend as examples. Additionally, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of the Great Commission for contemporary believers is a crucial point that
encourages continued engagement in evangelization efforts.
To provide constructive feedback, it would be beneficial for the instructor to expand on how the global church can practically grasp the current state of world evangelization. This could involve discussing specific strategies, resources, or initiatives that churches and individuals can utilize to stay informed and actively participate in spreading the Gospel worldwide. Furthermore, offering examples or case studies of successful approaches to global evangelization could help illustrate practical steps that can be taken.
