WCN is a Missions digest of news, trends and statistics affecting the Body of Christ worldwide.
- It provides an overview on the status of world evangelization, as well as on the religious and socio-cultural trends within which the Christian community exists and ministers.
- It is a vital and concise information resource for busy leaders, intercession groups, and those whose prayerful and active concern is for the world in which we live.
- It is for Christians who seek to develop or maintain a WorldChristian perspective--in their own lives, and or in others.
