Book excerpt: From Botswana to Thailand, from Peru to Bosnia, the missionary work of the Catholic Church stretches from pole to pole, encompassing every part of the globe. Jozef Cardinal Tomko, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples from 1985 to 2001 under the late Pope John Paul II, shares his account of the many missionary journeys he made around the world. Often accompanying the Pope, Cardinal Tomko saw firsthand how the Church is dealing with the particular challenges of various cultures around the world. He gives witness to the flowering of faith as well as the hardships that many Catholics face in other countries. The encyclopedic knowledge of countries and peoples that the Cardinal possesses will enrich the reader's understanding of the world today, and show that the Roman Catholic Church is truly "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic." "Cardinal Tomko has given us a gift in this book that can help us appreciate the Church's response today to the mission given her by Christ two thousand years ago. He deserves our gratitude too for what he has done for the missionary well being of the Church over the years that he was Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. This book is an invitation to share in his generous missionary spirit and, like him, to do great things for the Lord." -Francis Cardinal George, OMI, Archbishop of Chicago Lavishly Illustrated with color photographs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jones recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.

Download or read book Walking Together on the Jesus Road written by Evelyn Hibbert and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make discipling culturally relevant. Christians who serve Jesus among people from a different culture than their own often struggle to find a good way to disciple people. Walking Together on the Jesus Road addresses this need by guiding readers through three essential practices for making disciples across cultures: listening to disciples to get to know them and their context, focusing on relationships with Christ, fellow disciples, and others, and enabling disciples to live out their faith in culturally relevant ways. These practices are the foundation for the long-term, intentional process of helping disciples from other cultures become more like Jesus. The book also engages with practical challenges, such as enabling disciples to find and belong to a nurturing community of faith, as well as contextualizing the way we teach the Bible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOKTRAVELLING IN SUCH PERILIOUS TIMES AS THESEThis is a tale about travelling in perilous times. This is about risks that missionaries face every day. This is a tale of what travelers experience as they explore.This is fact. Not fiction. A cross country across some killing fields!It can be difficult traveling with an American anywhere these days. He is like a gold fish without a hiding place. Except in the Lord! Talk about wars, terrorism and kidnappings here and there. Talk about a world in which there is ISIS, Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen, bandits and other criminals of different shades. In some countries, crime has become the norm and foreigners are among the prime targets. If in doubt of the dangers, consult the uncountable travel warnings and advices mushrooming these days from American embassies in other nations. Indeed, these days, missionaries travel generally on edge. If your belongings are not stolen, you could be as a person. However, there is a proverb in my place that says though River Niger drowns even accomplished swimmers regularly, we will continue to swim and fish in the river! Not because we have no fear but because fish has no life out of water!Otherwise, I too would neither be traveling nor hosting any other missionary be they foreign or indigenous to Africa! Why? I am sure you will not be asking me why soon because in further chapters, I tell how our guest was diverted from us for twenty-four hours and if not for high intelligence gathering and prayers, we would have been in a mess!Roland Stone, forty-five, tall, brown almost red, from Minnesota, USA is one of the fish that decided to brave the odds. He came at a time when most persons prefer to stay at home and eat the bread of safety!However, when you talk about missionaries, Roland is a special case. Travelling with this particular man became something else on many fronts. To start with; as a diabetic patient, Roland needed special food we could not afford. Normally, a missionary expects to eat what people in the mission field are eating unless it is out rightly poisonous. Roland was ordering like a prince at a five-star restaurant.But that is neither here nor there.

Download or read book Mission on the Road to Emmaus written by Cathy Ross and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2015-01-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathy Ross and Steve Bevans are two of the biggest names in the study of mission and missiology worldwide. Cathy is director of OxCEPT at Ripon College Cuddesdon and Steve Bevans is teaching missiology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.

The book consciously tries to bring a fresh approach – introducing some newer themes (identity, creation, migration) and bringing a different perspective on some older themes by grouping them in this way. It is theological rather than issues-based and involves both older and newer contributors. The book is aimed at scholars and students of missiology in the UK, the US and worldwide. It is also a contribution to the study of world Christianity and contextual theology. Contributors include Jonny Baker, Kirsteen Kim, Gavin d'Costa, Emma Wild-Wood, Robert Schreiter and S. Mark Heim.

He chronicles the joys and hardships his family faced, the unraveling of the political situation largely due to religious and tribal conflict, and punctuates the narrative with interesting vignettes of patients treated at Evangel Hospital. He also shares the circumstances of the birth of the many different ministries they initiated to the street children, women with childbirth related injuries, women in crisis pregnancies, and families suffering with HIV/AIDS. He honestly discloses his personal and family struggles, the amazing deliverance of God in several life-threatening crises, and the worldwide support for their family over their twenty years serving with SIM in Nigeria. Written for those interested in medical missionary work, this very personal account is an exhaustive narrative of the spectrum of situations, good and bad, modern missionaries face. Journey On A Dusty Road is a testimony to God's grace and mercy and the support of hundreds worldwide who sustained them through their prayers, kindness, and gifts

Download or read book On the Missionary Trail written by Tom Hiney and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the industrial revolution of the late eighteenth century, Christians in the West began concerted efforts to spread their faith across the globe. On the Missionary Trail is the story of two men sent to places as far-flung as the Kalahari, Tahiti, and Canton to track the spread of Christianity. For eight years, George Tyerman and Daniel Bennet braved storms, pirates, tigers, and powerful but intractable local leaders to chart the success of the London Missionary Society's thirty-year endeavor. A remarkable account of faith and bravery, On the Missionary Trail is a unique addition to the literature of the missionary encounter.

Download or read book Roads to Rome written by Jenny Franchot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mixture of hostility and fascination with which native-born Protestants viewed the "foreign" practices of the "immigrant" church is the focus of Jenny Franchot's cultural, literary, and religious history of Protestant attitudes toward Roman Catholicism in nineteenth-century America. Franchot analyzes the effects of religious attitudes on historical ideas about America's origins and destiny. She then focuses on the popular tales of convent incarceration, with their Protestant "maidens" and lecherous, tyrannical Church superiors. Religious captivity narratives, like those of Indian captivity, were part of the ethnically, theologically, and sexually charged discourse of Protestant nativism. Discussions of Stowe, Longfellow, Hawthorne, and Lowell—writers who sympathized with "Romanism" and used its imaginative properties in their fiction—further demonstrate the profound influence of religious forces on American national character. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.
