The great new fact of our time—and it has momentous consequences for mission—is that the great migration has now gone into reverse. There has been a massive movement, which all indications suggest will continue, from the non-Western to the Western world. […] The increase in population growth will be concentrated in the areas least able to sustain it, leading to irresistible pressures for migration.
