McGavran's desire for a People Movement to begin in a given area resonates with me. I long to see my generation here in the United States turn to Christ as a whole. I want everyone to know Christ. I want my generation to be known as a generation that fears the Lord.
But, I am wary of McGavran's myopic focus on large groups. It is as if he is saying that a missional effort that only results in a few souls coming to Christ is a failure. I disagree with that. Christ himself was all but alone as He hung on the cross. My point is this, we don't always see the fruits of our labor. We must be faithful to what God has called us to, even if He calls us to failure.
I am interested to see how McGavran works this out though.
