Planning failure

Over the last 20 centuries Christians have announced 1,500 global plans to evangelize the world. Most of those plans failed.

The 250 plans that focused on the year 2000 fell massively short of stated goals.

So what do we do now? We put aside our past failures and begin working on our 2020 plans. After that our 2050 plans. To be followed by 2100 plans.

I'm securing the rights to the book title and website for "Reaching the world by AD3000".

Meanwhile, what could we learn from our planning failures? What could we learn from the unexpected breakthroughs in world missions that took us all by surprise in our vain attempts to engineer what God is up to?
