This book was released on 2023-02-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has God called you to full-time missions, but you lack the finances to move forward? The mission field is understaffed. Unreached people groups, which make up over 40% of the world population, have one foreign missionary for every 216,000 souls. Many who are called never reach the field because of financial lack or insufficient relational support. But it doesn't have to be like this; God has a better way. God has funded his workers for over 3,500 years through the partnership of his family. The Great Commission does not belong to the missionary alone; it belongs to the Body of Christ. In both the Old and New Testaments we see a substantial culture of partnership- the family of God rallying around the workers and making them available to do the work of God. A Modern Application of the Ancient Model In this training manual, you will discover God's pattern for funding His mission and His workers. You will be given clarity, confidence in the scriptures, a real action plan, and practical steps to take toward being fully funded. You will receive help in clarifying your ministry assignment, sharing your vision, and inviting the Body of Christ to be part of it. God sends missionaries into the harvest with the prayer, camaraderie, and financial support of a team. You can raise a partnership team and move forward with strength and confidence to complete the assignment that God has given you. God Has a Support Team for Every Called Missionary

Download or read book Mission written by Carlos F. Cardoza-Orlandi and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mission" has become, for many North American Christians, an ambiguous and often uncomfortable term. To many it brings to mind a past in which western culture was identified with the gospel in missionary practice and programs. Distressed with this history and uncertain about how to overcome it, many prefer to ignore the New Testament mandate that the church must be in mission if it is to be the church. Others swing the other way, declaring that everything the church does is mission, depriving the idea of mission of its power to define those specific actions of God which proclaim the gospel and build God's kingdom. "The church exists by missions, just as fire exists by burning." With these words of Emil Brunner, the author reminds us that to be the church is to be in mission. After describing the various "captivities of mission" which plague North American Christianity, the author argues for a robust and engaged practice of mission, beginning in congregations and extending to the broader community.

Download or read book Becoming Whole written by Brian Fikkert and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Civilization is wealthier, but it isn’t happier. We are the richest people ever to walk the face of the earth, but according to research, we aren’t becoming happier. Families and communities are increasingly fragmented, loneliness is skyrocketing, and physical and mental health are on the decline. Our unprecedented wealth doesn’t seem to be doing us much good. Yet, when we try to help poor people at home or abroad, our implicit assumption is that the goal is to help them to become like us. "If they would just do things our way, they’d be fine!" But even when they seem to pursue our path, they too find that the American Dream doesn’t work for them. What if we have the wrong idea altogether? What if the molds we are using to help poor people don’t actually fit any of us? What if the goal isn’t to turn other countries into the United States or to turn America’s impoverished communities into its affluent suburbs? In Becoming Whole (building on the best-selling When Helping Hurts), Brian Fikkert and Kelly M. Kapic look at the true sources of brokenness and poverty and uncover the surprising pathways to human flourishing, for poor and non-poor alike. Exposing the misconceptions of both Western Civilization and the Western church about the nature of God, human beings, and the world, they redefine success and offer new ways of achieving that success. Through biblical insights, scientific research, and practical experience, they show you how the good news of the kingdom of God reshapes our lives and our poverty alleviation ministries, moving everybody involved towards wholeness.
