What does "majority world" mean?

Defining Mission Terms

Dear WBC Friends,

Did you know that widely-used mission terms like ‘the 10/40 window’ and ‘unreached people groups’ originated from Lausanne Movement congresses?

Currently, Russ is leading a team responsible for all the marketing, communications and digital strategy leading up to the Lausanne Movement's Fourth Congress on World Evangelization in Seoul in 2024.

Lausanne Movement gatherings have a long history of nurturing the language of missions. In keeping with this tradition, Russ' team has started a new short video series called ‘Difficult Mission Terms’. In this series, key missional terms are defined in an easy-to-understand way.

The first videos of our series have been released, including ‘polycentric’, ‘Majority World’, and ‘orality.’

Your support enables us to bring the leadership energy and creativity to lead teams in being at the forefront of defining and redefining missional language for our times. Thank you for your partnership in bringing the whole gospel, through the whole of language, to the whole world.
