2000 ARIEL SHARON VISITS THE TEMPLE MOUNT
On September 28, 2000, Ariel Sharon (1928-), leader of the conservative Likud Party of Israel, visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, accompanied by hundreds of Israeli soldiers sent to protect him. Shortly before the visit, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (1929-2004) proclaimed that Jews have no right to visit the site, which is considered holy by Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. Sharon claimed that his visit was a gesture of peace; however, the Palestinians claimed that Sharon had desecrated their holy place, and they responded by intensifying the violence against the Israelis. Within hours of Sharon's visit, Palestinian youths in the West Bank city of Ramallah hurled rocks at Israeli police. In the Palestinian intifada (uprising) that followed, suicide bombers increasingly attacked Israeli public places, intensifying the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

2000 MISSIONARY MOVEMENT SEEKS TO FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION
The AD 2000 and Beyond Movement, begun in 1989, was the most global and focused missionary movement of all time. Its goal was "the gospel for every person and a church for every people" by the year 2000. Missiologists have identified approximately twelve thousand different people groups in the world, and the goal was to establish a self-propagating church in each of them. The goals were not reached by 2000, but great strides were made. The movement focused on the sixteen hundred people groups with a population of more than ten thousand but with less than 2 percent professing evangelical Christians. By the end of 2000, church-planting teams existed in 1,084 people-groups, and 487 of these had a congregation of more than one hundred. In 2000, Christian radio reached 99 percent of the world's population in their own language, and only 6.3 percent of the world's population lived in a culture without a witnessing church.

2000 BGEA ORGANIZES AMSTERDAM CONFERENCE
From July 29 to August 6, 2000, approximately ten thousand evangelists from 209 nations and territories of the world gathered in Amsterdam for a time of encouragement, training, and networking to maximize the thrust of the gospel in the next millennium. Organized by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), the meeting was the largest ever of its kind. Unfortunately, eighty-one-year-old Billy Graham was not able to attend, because he was undergoing medical treatment. The conference issued the Amsterdam Declaration: A Charter for Evangelism in the Twenty-first Century.
