Christian leaders could be greatly amplified by just as many national
Christian leaders. Most of the leaders in this list are seasoned “senior
saints” who have faithfully lived and ministered for decades. Some of
them are in the final phases of their lives and leadership and some are
already with the Lord. Since God will never be without a witness in any
age, He is raising up another whole generation of younger leaders who
will step out of the shadow of these older faithful leaders, and make
their own impact for the kingdom of God. Scores of them are already
distinguishing themselves in various areas of ministry.
In addition to these noted western Christian leaders, there are even more
Christian leaders in other developing countries of the world who are
just as known and important to God. Just as many of them live in so-
called “developing countries,” their spiritual leadership is also developing
in both depth and breadth for God’s Kingdom and glory. Even though
many of them live and lead in Third World countries, their leadership is
“first rate” and “First World” quality in every sense of the word! If space
