Our Anchor in a World Adrift: 7 Stats You Need to Know to Serve the King

Many of us want to serve God effectively, but don't know where to start. These 7 stats are your gateway to thinking about the world as you serve Him this year.

Every day, the urgent and the silly compete for our fractured attention spans. The important and the ephemeral combine in a never-ending torrent of information that's increasingly hard to keep up with or manage.

That's why GMI CEO Jon Hirst travels globally speaking on the key stats and trends that are reshaping our world and forever changing the way we will fulfill the Great Commission.

"It's easy for us to miss important developments when there's so much data flying at us," says Hirst. "I love helping people and organizations cut through the clutter and focus on the significant shifts that are re-making our world into a different place than it was yesterday."

Hirst tackles seven things that are changing in our world:
- An unprecedented refugee crisis that has millions on the move
- Economic instability, unemployment, and individual identity
- Personal disconnection in our digitally connected world
- Evolving sexual morality and definitions of family
- Why the world's biggest cities are growing more secular
- Secularism and suicide, both of which are rising worldwide
- The quest for a spiritual home

The classic hymn was right, "This is my Father's world." But it's a different world today.
