Summary/Abstract: Postmodernity, with its wide range of contemporary challenges - individualism, nihilism and secularism - sets a new framework for Christian missionary activity, which is now more than ever called to preach the truth in a world of generalized imposture. Through its educational-philanthropy centres, the Church fulfils its missionary mission for the benefit of Christian family, vulnerable to the influence of such troubled society.
