A recent news summary, for example, points to the spreading impact of Bible institutes in China.

One exerpt from an article at this site says: "No one knows for sure how many indigenous missionaries there are. Operation World says there are 107,943 total missionaries working in or sent out from their own countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific regions."

See the full article on this website, "Why the Fuss Over Indigenous Missions?" where John Lindner summarizes the burden of modern cross-cultural missions being carried by the national churches worldwide. Read it at: http://www.christianaid.org/whythefuss.asp
