| Summary: | The release of the 22nd edition of the Mission Handbook (2017) has provided rich opportunities for scholars and practitioners to learn more about the current state of global missions from North America. Based on data from all twenty-two of the Handbook’s print editions, this article summarizes broad trends from 1951 to 2016. These include an overall increase in the number of agencies, even as founding rates have been declining; an overall growth in overseas budgets; the increasing prominence of evangelical agencies that are not denominationally affiliated; and a mixed series of patterns among core and peripheral ministry activities. |
