The Missions of the church is the concern that in places where there are no Christians there should be Christians, In other words, Missions means to plant churches through evangelism (Newbigin 23). He adds that the aim of missions should be the establishment of a new Christian community that is as broad as society and is as true to the national situation. He has in mind here the idea of Christianization that is highly questionable today in a world that is characterized by religious pluralism and democracy. Moreover, Christianity has lost its position of privilege. In many parts of the world, even in regions where the Church had been established as a powerful factor for more than a millennium, it is today regarded as a liability rather than an asset to be a Christian. The encouragement of inter-faith dialogue and cooperation today also draws the goal of mission as Christianization into question.
