1. Renewal of Worship in our Churches The worship renewal has circled the globe and effected nearly all streams of Christianity - liturgical, traditional, and contemporary; Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant; evangelical and charismatic.
2. Reawakening of indigenous culture In the midst of the growing global family, people are longing for and discovering their ethnic roots. Believers are discovering the joy of expressing their love for Jesus in their own “heart” culture and language.
3. “Bi-musical” missionary musicians Along with the reawakened indigenous awareness, a truly remarkable new breed of musicians is being raised up — the Christian ethnomusicologists, who move into tribal areas to help people groups develop their own vernacular music and worship expressions.
4. Worship musicians joining church planting teams Along with the ethnomusicologists going to preliterate tribal areas, God is also raising up musicians and artists to join church planting teams. Their goal is to help emerging groups of believers in unreached people groups develop their own worship and artistic expressions.
5. Globalizing of western culture Simultaneous with the resurgence of indigenous culture has also been the relentless dissemination of western pop culture that pervades much of the world today, especially the urban world. Along with British, American, and Australian pop music traversing the globe, there has been a vast spread of contemporary worship songs as well.
6. Blending of cultures in worship This has naturally led to another trend, both in the wider culture and also within the church, of the blending of ethnic and western styles. As the world’s cities become melting pots of cultural diversity, the churches in these places are beginning to reflect this rich diversity.
7. Vast increase of worship recordings worldwide Recent years has seen an incredible output of recorded worship music from around the world. As the cost of recording equipment and sophisticated synthesizers and other instruments has dropped, little recording studios have sprouted world wide, often in homes or churches. Recordings disseminated in cultures, especially where there are few Christians, has helped scattered groups of believers to find a common identity through the common repertoire of worship songs.
8. Worship Evangelism Evangelistic crusades worldwide now include extended times of worship. As unbelievers see believers responding to God in worship, they are attracted to Him. They experience God present as he inhabits their praises.
