| Joshua Project Progress Scale |
The Joshua Project Progress Scale provides an estimate of the progress
of church planting among a people group or country. The scale is derived
from a comparison and integration of % Evangelical, % Adherent, Patrick
Johnstone Church Planting Indicator (CPI), Global Status of Evangelical
Christianity (GSEC) Indicator, Morelia Scale, World Christian Encyclopedia
World A-B-C classification and other progress indicators.
There are instances where the above progress indicators are inconsistent with one another. In these cases the Joshua Project scale takes a middle ground approach. Please send Joshua Project any information which might help to reconcile conflicting reports about the current status among a people group or country. |
