While guest speaking at a conference, I heard a church planter’s presentation.
He said, “There is no gospel witness in many US cities.”
That got my attention. He repeated.
“Many of our biggest cities no longer have any church that preaches the gospel.”
Afterward, I told him I personally knew many great churches in his target city.
“They’re good,” he replied unconvincingly.
Apparently churches not using the right Bible version or in the wrong political camp don’t really count.
I’ve heard the “no gospel witness” phrase from missionaries my whole life. I wonder. Did any of them also distort reality?
