The Christian church has employed various structural frameworks to facilitate world evangelism, aiming to spread the message of Christianity to diverse cultures and regions. One of the primary structures is the establishment of missionary organizations and agencies dedicated to sending individuals or teams to evangelize in different parts of the world. These organizations often coordinate with local churches and communities to effectively communicate the gospel message and provide humanitarian aid where needed. Additionally, denominational networks play a crucial role, as churches within the same denomination often collaborate on global missions, pooling resources and expertise to reach unreached peoples and communities. Furthermore, the advent of technology has enabled churches to expand their outreach through using online platforms to communicate with audiences worldwide. Overall, the Christian church's structured approach to world evangelism reflects its commitment to fulfilling the Great Commission and sharing the message of salvation with all nations.
