Download or read book Missions from the Majority World written by Enoch Wan and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The churches from the whole world are joined in the effort to reach the whole world. Although it has been documented that Western missionaries serving outside their countries still comprise the majority of world missions workers, the growth rate of majority world missionaries far outpaces that of the West. In recent years, while Western missionary forces are shrinking in numbers and possibly in influence, missions from the majority world have proliferated, bringing amazing progress and some challenges. Missions from the Majority World represents the thinking of 14 majority world mission scholars and 10 Westerners with lengthy experience in the missionary enterprise. The book shows the progress and challenges of missions from the majority world and illustrates this by case studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Download or read book Christian Mission written by ALAN. NEELY and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case study method of teaching has revolutionized higher education, becoming the favored technique of presenters who want to help groups entertain options outside their normal repertory of programmed responses. In Christian Mission: A Case Study Approach, Alan Neely of Princeton Theological Seminary adapts this educational tool to the study of cross- cultural ministries and mission. First, Neely introduces the case study in Christian thought by analyzing what is meant by a ""context"" and what the problem of contextualization means. This introduction will help classroom instructor as well as the casual reader understand how to use ""cases"" and what issues are involved. Neely then tackles questions that arise in the encounter of Christianity with Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and primal religions. From the contemporary case of ""A Letter from Claire"" to the classic historical study ""Roberto de Nobili,"" Christian Mission clearly illustrates how far and deep questions of contextualization run.
Download or read book The Church in Mission written by Betril Ekstrom and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean today to be a church totally committed to the gospel and fully engaged in God’s mission? What major religious and sociological trends in our world are affecting the role of the global church and local churches? How must we understand and be prepared to face these trends? How do we define “church” in the twenty-first century, being faithful to the Scriptures and at the same time relevant to a generation that does not believe in the institutional church anymore? What are some good models of missional churches in different regions of the world that will encourage and inspire those who long to see a church making difference in society and in the world? These are some of the issues that the book you are holding in your hands addresses. There are certainly no final answers and magical forms; rather, we present a broad and deep discussion on how the gospel should be lived out by Jesus’ followers in our time and through our communities. Questions are raised and analyzed both from the perspective of a local church as well as from a global and general understanding of the Christian church. Some of our examples will focus more on local realities, others more on global challenges. The first part of the book is dedicated to a biblical and theological reflection on gospel, church, and mission. It includes Old and New Testament studies on the theological implications of being church, based on the biblical narrative. The second part deals with a variety of contemporary missiological issues related to the broader theme of church and mission. Different perspectives from current discussions and dialogues around the globe are included, covering both ideological reflections and practical aspects of being a mission-shaped church. The third part presents regional and national case studies that show the enormous creativity in church planting and engagement of local communities in their own societies. Models applied in the secularized Europe are contrasted to ways of functioning as church in fast growing congregations in the global South.

Download or read book Megachurch Accountability in Missions written by Jinbong Kim and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megachurches are of relatively recent vintage. Their numerical strength invests them with social and financial power. To whom, if anyone, however, are megachurches accountable? What role do they play as innovators in missions? How have their enormous influence and financial strength been harnessed? What lessons can be learned? What course corrections ought to be made? Over the course of a week, the third meeting of the Korean Global Mission Leadership Forum (KGMLF), held in Korea in 2015, addressed these and related questions. Combining the insights of a rich mix of Korean and international megachurch leaders and scholars, Megachurch Accountability in Missions: Korean and Global Case Studies offers analysis, critique, and positive recommendations for future megachurch engagement in mission.

Download or read book The Realities of Money and Missions written by Jonathan J. Bonk and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-21 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrity, Viability, and Accountability Perhaps there is no greater challenge in missions than money. Paul reminds us, “For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man” (2 Cor. 8:21). Money sufficient to assure the viability of one’s life work carries with it an insidious ethical virus that can easily infect the integrity and accountability of its stewards. The Realities of Money & Missions provides a unique level of credibility and transparency as it calls for evangelicals to reevaluate their relationship with money, both personally and corporately. Global case studies, workshops, and testimonials cover a broad range of topics such as: Misalignment between fiscal theology and practice Environmental stewardship, community development, and business as mission Mobilization, fundraising practices, and “faith financing” Short-term missions, patronage, and dependency Power dynamics and structural injustice The Realities of Money & Missions was not written by experts in the fields of investment, money management, or fundraising, but by men and women whose calling as missionaries, pastors, and administrators has brought them face-to-face with the complex, real-life issues involving the intersection of money and ministry.
