The apostle’s question to the Christians in Rome is just as relevant for Christ-followers today, who are heirs of Jesus’ Great Commission: ”Go and make disciples of all the nations” (Matt. 28:19).

This report is a clear-eyed assessment of Christian evangelism in America today: what’s working, what’s not, and what must change for Christians to carry on the legacy of gospel-sharing inherited from the apostles.
