Download or read book Health Healing and Shalom written by Bryant L. Myers and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Jesus’s proclamation in word and deed as the Great Physician, his followers in mission have assumed that salvation and health are intertwined. Yet for every age, Christians need to examine how they can best announce the gospel message of God’s healing in word and deed in their own context. In our era, we are often simultaneously grateful for modern medicine and frustrated by its inability to care for the whole person in effective, affordable ways. In this edited volume, authors with an interest in health missions from a wide variety of experiences and disciplines examine health and healing through the theological lens of shalom. This word, often translated “peace,” names a much more complex understanding of human well-being as right relationships with one another, with God, and with creation. Reading various aspects of healthcare missions through these glasses not only yields much-needed correctives to current practice but also exposes the Spirit’s invitation to participate in God’s ongoing work of tending, caring, and healing our broken world.
Download or read book Teach a Man to Fish written by Mph Florence Muindi MD and published by Tyndale House Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've probably heard the old saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." The same basic principle applies to missions work. Too many churches and other missions organizations over-emphasize Relief Aid--no-strings-attached, handouts of vital supplies given in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. While necessary and lifesaving, Relief Aid is only a temporary fix. Once the funds dry up and the ground team leaves, the impoverished community is often no better off than they were before. In Teach a Man to Fish, the authors illustrate the benefits of "wholistic transformational development," where--through engagement with the local church-- the community is empowered to identify and carry out long-term sustainable solutions to meet its own needs. A few of the steps that "wholistic transformational development" includes are: Give dignity to "the least of these" Address the root causes of poverty to provide solutions for the affected Help the vulnerable to become empowered in their own communities Filled with real-life stories from the authors' own experiences, Teach a Man to Fish provides churches and missions organizations with a blueprint for helping people help themselves in order to create lasting change and long-term sustainability and independence.
Download or read book Victory Over Fear Charms Witchcraft and Worldview in South Central Malawi written by Robert Beaton and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about effective discipleship. The author discusses how it is possible to transform worldview and thus change behaviour (practice) in the area of African traditional religious charm- dependency and related witchcraft practices in the church. He lays foundations for an appropriate approach for renewal, one which takes into consideration cultural sensitivity, Biblical fidelity and pedagogic efficacy. Specific Biblical passages are studied with a view to both theological significance and practically applicable significance for the context, and suggestions are made regarding how to best communicate these Biblical truths effectively in situ. This material provides a malleable resource for church leaders, theological educators and missionaries, to use, develop or modify, according to their own particular didactic needs and specific ATR challenges to Christian discipleship.
Download or read book Dangerous Surrender written by Kay Warren and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2008-09-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have a plan for the rest of your life. God has a plan for the rest of your life. Are they the same?You have expectations for how your life will play out, and you hope those plans will become realities.But what if God’s plan for your life is far different from what you had in mind? Can you accept that? Will you surrender your goals for God’s?Kay Warren had a plan. Together with her husband, Rick Warren, author of the megaseller The Purpose Driven Life, she planned that after her kids were grown, she’d travel the world, teaching and encouraging couples in ministry. It was a good plan. But it wasn’t what God had in mind for her.In a startling wake-up call, Kay discovered the shocking realities of the AIDS pandemic in Africa while reading a magazine. “I want to use you!” she heard God say. That began the struggle—first to avoid God’s call and then to surrender herself to God.She cried out to God, “Why are you bothering me with this? There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just an ordinary person. What could one person do about such a gigantic problem” But God had grabbed her attention and wouldn’t let go.If you’ve ever struggled with knowing and doing God’s will, this book is for you. With raw honesty, Kay goes straight to the heart of the matter: the bottom line is surrender. Will you trust God? Along the way she’ll introduce you to others—people like you—who have said yes to God and have made a difference in the world. Using their skills, energy, faith, and a willingness to take risks, they became powerful instruments of change and tools in God’s hands.Giving in to God isn’t easy. It’s not for cowards. It’s the boldest, riskiest step you’ll ever take. This dangerous surrender can bring both joy and pain, both heartache and ecstasy, but it enables you to know God in a far deeper way than ever before.I had to make a conscious decision. Would I retreat to my comfortable life and to my settled plans? Or would I surrender to God’s call and let my heart engage with a cause such as AIDS that I was pretty sure would include buckets of pain and sorrow? I felt like I was standing on the edge of a giant precipice; I couldn’t go back, and yet the way forward looked like stepping into a void.Kay Warren took that step, choosing to dangerously surrender to God. That decision transformed her life, marriage, and future. She invites you to do the same.You’ll benefit most by discussing this book with others.

Download or read book Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts written by Evelyn Hibbert and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop Leaders in Culturally Relevant Ways Often, church planters, disciplers, and pastors struggle to identify grassroots leaders and develop them in their context. As leaders who want to develop other leaders, our task is to come alongside these leaders and learn and grow together with them. Multiplying Leaders in Intercultural Contexts focuses on how to develop grassroots Christian leaders across cultures. These often unrecognized leaders mostly lead small groups at the growing edges of the church. They are ordinary people who faithfully share Christ amid the demands of daily life. Another focus of the book is shaping the character of developers as they humbly walk beside leaders in the leaders’ community. Using the four C’s of Christian leadership—Community, Character, Clarity, and Care—the authors weave together research, experience, and practical application to show how these characteristics are expressed across different cultures. The book then discusses five principles, illustrated in common settings, for an intentional process that develops leaders and their communities collectively. Take the next step now in developing yourself and others in the task of leading Jesus’s church wherever that might be.
