Global Triage, MDG 4, and Unreached People Groups

  • 18th Edition, October 2008
  • ISBN: 978-0-9679633-8-9
  • By: John L. Ronsvalle and Sylvia Ronsvalle

Topics Include:

  • Church Giving and Membership Data and Trends Updated through 2006.
  • Global Triage for Word and Deed Need: A strategy of global triage is suggested as a solution for lukewarm giving patterns. Although church members in the U.S. could help both unreached people groups and the prevention of under-five child deaths for a few cents a day, church members and leaders are not mobilizing to do either. Setting priorities may help church members to be more faithful and help meet urgent needs at the same time.
  • Why and How Much Americans Give: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) data for 2006 analyzed by U.S. Region, Age, and Income. Also a comparison of CE, Form 990, and the tax-return based Giving USA estimates of giving for 1989 through 2004, the latest data set year.
  • The Potential of the Church: An empty tomb survey of 34 Protestant denominations’ Overseas Missions Income is extended through 2006, including cents per dollar by denomination. Also: Potential giving in nine Roman Catholic Archdioceses; cost per member for global evangelization and meeting various global needs for selected church populations; an update of potential giving at the 10% level.
