 * __Student Volunteer Movement Today

Americans today should be concerned about the Student Volunteer Movement because it could possibly create tension between nations and their religions. The first groups of young missionaries felt a thorough knowledge of the Gospel would bring success, and they entered China with little sensitivity toward its language or culture.

The SVM today is called SVM 2. They are the core of student mission movement calling a new generation of Message Bearers to a lifetime of Abandoned Devotion to Jesus Christ and to the urgent Global Proclamation of his gospel.

In the same spirit as the first SVM, the Student Volunteer Movement 2 seeks to call a new generation of message bearers who would abandoned themselves to the person of Jesus Christ and wholeheartedly devote themselves to proclaiming the gospel globally.

The SVM that was in progress around the turn of the century was a contributor to many good things in America's future. Religious issues such as that of women's ordination or public preaching, and secular issues such as that of women's suffrage, were alike influenced by the fact of the growing women's missionary movement.



Another result of the domestic appeal of the missionary movement was the formation of Bible schools, which began in the late nineteenth century.

Even international relations influenced some multigenerational U.S. missionary dynasties, such as the Luce family in China and the Bliss and Dodge families in the Middle East, influenced U.S. foreign policy well into the twentieth century.

The SVM and the SVM2 have played a major role during the 19th century and even the 20th century, that can be related to our era.
