Download or read book Just One written by Ann Hinrichs and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just One is a missions memoir that spans 15 years. It's also a meditation on authentic friendship, trust, love, and the importance of reaching out to one person at a time. Ann Hinrichs transports readers to a small village in Belize on the Caribbean Sea, immersing them in the community's culture. Leaving her home in Minnesota, she travels with numerous mission teams to partner with their pastor and Garifuna church. One day she finds herself helping an elderly man who's suffering with a serious injury. Before long, a friendship develops that profoundly changes her life. The unlikely relationship takes a number of unexpected turns. In the process, Ann discovers that it's mostly through personal relationships, one-on-one, face-to-face interactions with others--listening, being available, taking part in another's life story--where missions begins to reflect the heart of Christ. Just One looks at short-term missions but with a long-term view, i.e., as lasting partnerships. This book can serve as a companion, pocket guide and tool for those involved in missions.
Download or read book The Very Worst Missionary written by Jamie Wright and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The reason you love Jamie (or are about to) is because she says exactly what the rest of us are thinking, but we’re too afraid to upset the apple cart. She is a voice for the outlier, and we’re famished for what she has to say.” --Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of Of Mess and Moxie and For the Love Wildly popular blogger "Jamie the Very Worst Missionary" delivers a searing, offbeat, often hilarious memoir of spiritual disintegration and re-formation. As a quirky Jewish kid and promiscuous punkass teen, Jamie Wright never imagines becoming a Christian, let alone a Christian missionary. She is barely an adult when the trials of motherhood and marriage put her on an unexpected collision course with Jesus. After finding her faith at a suburban megachurch, Jamie trades in the easy life on the cul-de-sac for the green fields of Costa Rica. There, along with her family, she earnestly hopes to serve God and change lives. But faced with a yawning culture gap and persistent shortcomings in herself and her fellow workers, she soon loses confidence in the missionary enterprise and falls into a funk of cynicism and despair. Nearly paralyzed by depression, yet still wanting to make a difference, she decides to tell the whole, disenchanted truth: Missionaries suck and our work makes no sense at all! From her sofa in Central America, she launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, and against all odds wins a large and passionate following. Which leads her to see that maybe a "bad" missionary--awkward, doubtful, and vocal—is exactly what the world and the throngs of American do-gooders need. The Very Worst Missionary is a disarming, ultimately inspiring spiritual memoir for well-intentioned contrarians everywhere. It will appeal to readers of Nadia Bolz-Weber, Jen Hatmaker, Ann Lamott, Jana Reiss, Mallory Ortberg, and Rachel Held Evans.

Book excerpt: At the age of nineteen, Jacob Young left his family's Idaho wheat farm for Samara, Russia, where he had been assigned to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He quickly learned how to approach strangers in thick fur coats and deliver a thirty minute message about God. He learned how to knock on door after dreary door and testify with a conviction he did not always feel. He learned to love the Russian language, the Russian people, and the inside of a Russian jail. But the most important lessons may have been the things he never learned. In an effort to preserve privacy, names of persons portrayed in this memoir, including that of the author, have been changed.

The author tells of his personal journey to knowing the Lord and describes the circumstances and growth of a small team of Americans reaching out with the pastor of a small church in Campina, Romania.

Download or read book A Smoldering Wick written by Gena Thomas and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you jaded by charity work yet have a heart for international missions? Are you curious if short-term missions are effective for those overseas? Do you feel like something is missing in missions work? A Smoldering Wick brings awareness to the pitfalls of charity work and brings to light the Biblical call to a justice mind-set, without arguing that short-term missions are a lost cause. In Isaiah 42, God speaks of Jesus and how He will neither break a bruised reed nor snuff out a smoldering wick, but in faithfulness, He will establish justice on earth. Being equipped through theology, theory, and practice, the Church will be encouraged and admonished not to grow faint as God establishes justice on the earth. By mixing personal missionary memoirs with practical application, this book proposes what is wrong with short-term mission trips and offers practical solutions to reverse the unjust ways that the Western Church sees itself, poverty, and its international brothers and sisters. http://www.genathomas.com/
