Book excerpt: Matthew McNeil decided to take his new wife to the mission field in search of an adventure. One day he's working a dead-end job and six months later finds himself hiking into a Southeast Asian tribal village. "It was like I'd walked into the pages of a National Geographic magazine." Matthew relates an intriguing encounter when he initiates a confrontation with the village men and shares a fascinating story about taking a group of aboriginal children to America as part of a worldwide cultural bridging effort.A few years later, the McNeils relocate to a place the U.S. Embassy warned Americans to stay away from--the volatile island of Mindanao. There they served in an area known as the Killing Fields where they worked with families living in grinding poverty and managed a charity-based clinic where Krystina McNeil has overseen the delivery of 25,000 babies.After learning that troubled teenagers hanging out near the clinic were being targeted for killing by the notorious Davao Death Squad, Matthew pioneered an innovative adventure-based ministry. He details the amazing story of how God used the third wealthiest family in the country to fund a program that helped reach thousands of youth for Christ. Ten years later that ministry imploded in a single day and forced Matthew to reconsider some of Christ's harder teachings--one in particular--and it took a deeper conversion experience to finally recognize it alone is essential to what Jesus asks of us.The McNeils have served as career missionaries in the Philippines for 25 years where they oversee a small mission organization that has mobilized more than 200 people to the mission field. They originate from the Pacific Northwest and are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He was one of distinguished natural abilities, as all are sensible who had acquaintance with him. As a minister of the gospel, he was called to unusual services in that work; and his ministry was attended by very remarkable and unusual events ... He had a peculiar opportunity of acquaintance with the false appearances and counterfeits of religion; was the instrument of a most remarkable awakening ...In the following account, the reader will have an opportunity to see not only what were the external circumstances and remarkable incidents of the life of this person, and how he spent his time from day to day, as to his external behavior; but also what passed in his own heart." --Jonathan Edwards David Brainerd, an early missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania, died in 1747 at the age of twenty-nine at the home of his long-time friend and supporter, the eminent Puritan theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards. It is thanks to Edwards' careful preservation and thoughtful editing of his friend's Diary and Journal that Brainerd has influenced Christians all over the world for over 250 years. As he labored in what was still the untamed American frontier to bring the Gospel to the Indians, Brainerd faced many challenges, including depression, loneliness, and physical illness. Yet his genuine piety and single-minded devotion to God, both in heart and in practice, form a consistent backdrop to his turbulent inner world. This compilation offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man compelled by God to share His love with others in the most difficult of circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the ASM Series is to publish, without regard for disciplinary, national, or denominational boundaries, scholarly works of high quality and wide interest on missiological themes from the entire spectrum of scholarly pursuits, e.g., theology, history, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, health, education, art, political science, economics, and development, to articulate but a partial list. Always the focus will be on Christian mission. By "mission" in this context is meant a cross-cultural passage over the boundary between faith in Jesus Christ and its absence. In this understanding of mission, the basic functions of Christian proclamation, dialogue, witness, service, fellowship, worship, and nurture are of special concern. How does the transition from one cultural context to another influence the shape and interaction of these dynamic functions? Missiologists know that they need the other disciplines. And other disciplines, we dare to suggest, need missiology, perhaps more than they sometimes realize. Neither the insider's nor the outsider's view is complete in itself. The world Christian mission has through two millennia amassed a rich and well-documented body of experience to share with other disciplines. Interaction will be the hallmark of this Series. It desires to be a channel for talking to one another instead of about one another. Secular scholars and church-related missiologists have too long engaged in a sterile venting of feelings about one another, often lacking in full evidence. Ignorance of and indifference to one another's work has been no less harmful to good scholarship. The promotion of scholarly dialogue among missiologists may, at times, involve the publication of views and positions that other missiologists cannot accept, and with which members of the Editorial Committee do not agree. The manuscripts published reflect the opinions of their authors and are not meant to represent the position of the American Society of Missiology or the Editorial Committee of the ASM Series. We express our warm thanks to various mission agencies whose financial contributions enabled leaders of vision in the ASM to launch this new venture. The future of the ASM series will, we feel sure, fully justify their confidence and support. William J. Danker, Chairperson ASM Series Editorial Committee
