The CSGC partnered with researchers at Tufts University to look into this new trend in world mission. Click here to download the report.
Martyrdom Situations
One of our most highly-cited figures is the average number of Christian martyrs around the world every year. The CSGC hosts a table outlining some key martyrdom situations from 2000-2010. The table is available for free here. An updated table with data from 2006 – 2015 can be found here.

The CSGC partnered with the World Council of Churches and the Institute for Cross-Cultural Theological Education to gather data and perspectives on all forms of theological education from Christian traditions all over the world. In a 21-month period more than 1,650 surveys were administered to theological educators and church leaders. Click here for the report of findings and more information on the project.
