Welcome to the Survey of Cape Town 2010

The value of Cape Town 2010 comes, in part, from the unique perspective of each participant joining together to form a global parliament of leaders on world evangelization. This survey asks for your own personal views and perceptions about issues facing evangelical Christianity, both in your country and around the world. Your participation in this survey is important in order to provide an accurate picture of what evangelical Christian leaders around the world think about these issues.

Q1.       How would you evaluate the current state of evangelical Christianity in your country on a scale from 0 to 10 where 10 represents the best possible situation and 0 represents the worst possible situation? (Please answer this question and others referring to “in your country” based on the country you are representing at the Congress.)
