Orinoco God At Work In Venezuela
$26.23Orinoco! God at Work in Venezuela follows the growth of the evangelical church in Eastern Venezuela. It tells the story from a macro perspective that points to a dovetailing of world events-a God-sized picture-that led to individual and particular encounters. The book alternates between examining details of pioneer missionary life and using key lookout points to provide a perspective from which to interpret the details of history and God’s guiding hand. Orinoco! pulls together multiple examples of North American missionaries and Venezuelans who sought to focus on what was most important, sometimes getting caught up by their own limitations, lack of knowledge, and understanding. Despite internal and external pressures, they persevered and believed in what God was doing in their midst.

From Head Hunters To Church Planters
$22.99IVP Print On Demand Title
There is a tendency today to associate revival and miracles with charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there. These powerful and life-changing visitations came to orderly, conservative Baptist congregations. As a result, Nagas found their true dignity not in themselves, their ethnic roots, their head-hunting, or the defense of their homeland, but they discovered it in the person and life of Jesus Christ, the living and one true God. This is a moving story of bravery and betrayal, suffering, persecution, supernatural intervention, and subsequent human weakness.

Text And Task
$58.31Practical, scriptural and contemporary, Text and Task is a series of essays on Scripture and mission. It aims to show the significance of reading the biblical text appropriately and with faithful engagement for our theology and missiology.
A team of biblical scholars suggests ways forward in areas such as the implicit missional narrative of David and Goliath, the story of Solomon and his Temple-building, the genre of lament, the explicit gracious message of the prophet Isaiah, Paul’s understanding of divine call and gospel, and the place of mission as a hermeneutic for reading the Bible. Theological chapters engage the issues of the Trinity and the unevangelized, the missional dimensions of Barth’s view of election, the gospel’s loss of plausibility in the modern West, the place of reaching in mission, and the idea of belonging to a church community before one believes the gospel.
Drawing together scholars from the fields of biblical studies, theology, sociology and homiletics, Text and Task relates critically engaged textual reading to contemporary ongoing Christian life, thought and mission.

purposes, and in this book presents the church, not as a static pastoral community, but as a vibrant, active body totally committed to world mission.David investigates the importance of church planting to reach the nations and looks at Church-based mission and how to make local churches “missional” in both thinking and
practice.Set within a framework of the Kingdom of God, David demonstrates what the “Kingdom down to earth” really implies for Church-based Kingdom social action. Finally, David examines the culture and contextualization of social action along with some of the dangers and difficulties of apostolic mission, before asking the fundamental
question, “Who will go?”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Father To The Fatherless
$18.95Six year-old Charles Mulli wakes up in his Kenyan hut to discover his parents have abandoned him. Forced to beg from hut to hut in search of food, Charles scrapes out a meagre existence while trying to come to terms with his abusive past. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Charles experiences unprecedented success. He finds a wonderful wife, raises a family, excels in business to such a degree that he creates an empire that is noticed by the President of Kenya, and he becomes a pinnacle in the church movement. Charles is on top of the world. And then his world changes. In spite of his tremendous achievements, the plight of the growing street children problem in his country remains strong in Charles’ heart. He is unable to shut out their cries, the cries he understands so well, and he realizes he must respond. Father to the Fatherless tells the true story of a man who makes a decision to sell everything he has to help the poor. It’s a decision that goes so counter-intuitive to those around him that he is soon completely ostracized, forcing him to carry out what seems like an impossible and unexplainable mission. Now, armed only with his relationship with God, Charles and his family struggle on physical, financial and spiritual fronts to rescue street children from the slums of Kenya and provide them with the hope of new life.

Reformation In Foreign Missions
$21.86After 57 years of service involving Asia, Africa and Latin America, a veteran missionary is calling for a reformation in the way foreign missionary work is done. Bob Finley advocates the withdrawal of all American missionaries from foreign countries, and recommends supporting indigenous missions instead.
He contends that there is no precedent for modern missions in the New Testament, no mention of apostles going to work in foreign countries, or anyone elso being sent to serve where he did not know the local language.
The author cites numerous examples of how the presence of foreigners hinders the cause of Christ, and then shows how church growth exploded in China and elsewhere after the foreigners were all gone.
This book is a must read for pastors, missions committee members, professors of missions, and all other Christians who are interested in foreign missionary activities of American evangelicals.

Part V: People
Part VI: Culture
Part VII: Trials
Part VIII: School
Epilogue: The Work
AppendixAdditional Info
Being a missionary in Ivory Coast, West Africa is not only about dangers, hard work, and culture shock, interspersed with moments of high joy and deep sorrow; it is life found in the small and daily things, the quotidian experience which renders familiar a vastly different way of life, a life at the edge of the village.This book collects Lisa Leidenfrost’s sketches of missionary life, compiled from letters sent home from Ivory Coast to her church in the United States, and they tell of the ordinary and extraordinary, the solemn and the playful, the mundane and the exotic, together creating a down-to-earth portrait of the Gospel at work in a family and society.
For over sixteen years, Lisa Leidenfrost has lived, served, and raised four children in Ivory Coast with her husband, Csaba Leidenfrost, a Wycliffe translator to the Bakwe people.

Desert Rat : The Remarkable Story Of Aileen Coleman
$19.98She has been celebrated by the princely and noble as well as the lowly and oppressed. She is known by many names-“The Angel of the Desert,” “Blood Brother to the Bedouin,” and “A’raisa, the Leader”-and through “honors” bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth, she is entitled to be known as Dame Aileen Coleman. One dignitary lovingly referred to her as “one of the greatest servants God ever put on His earth.” Medical missionary Aileen Coleman humbly shuns such pretentious and flowery titles, maintaining she is only “a desert rat.” Her longtime friend, Franklin Graham, president of the Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse, asks, “How is it possible that this lady from Bundaberg, Australia, could turn the Arab world upside down?” The story of her faithfulness and servanthood through four decades of ministry in the Middle East could change your life forever.

Treasure In Clay Jars
$25.99If you saw a missional church, what would it look like? What patterns of behavior and practice would you find there? Building on the ground laid by the book Missional Church (Darrell Guder et al.), this volume centers on case studies of nine missional congregations from across North America that are diverse in their denominational affiliations, worship styles, political stances, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Treasure in Clay Jars explores eight concrete “patterns” common to these churches. Although the patterns may be different in each setting, they can be recognized in any congregation seeking to participate in God’s mission in the world. The congregations studied here are “clay jars,” but each carries in its respective witness a remarkable treasure that points to God’s power and purposes.

Apostolic Intervention : A Biblical And Contemporary Overview Of The Aposto
$19.98What is the gift of Apostle? Are you looking for a biblical and modern day understanding? How does that gift operate in the Body of Christ? Apostle Hairston’s book, Apostolic Intervention (A Biblical and Contemporary Overview of the Apostolic Impact Upon European, Ancient and American Cities), reveals the work of an Apostle beginning in the Old Testament and journeying through the New Testament and into the 21st Century, and describes non-biblical pioneers who operated with Apostle-like characteristics. The life of an Apostle emerges with great impact in this look at the men and women sent to establish order and to develop ideas and strategies for assessing and sometimes restructuring mindsets regarding biblical doctrine. Apostle Hairston believes that as our knowledge expands, our understanding will draw us to embrace and operate in the five-fold ministry gifts, resulting in a global revival and assisting mankind to stand in the face of global war, economic change, and governmental collapse. With this tool, the Apostle is prepared to play a major role as cities face the coming moves of God. This is a must read for believers seeking biblical and modern day understanding of the gift of Apostle.

Who Can Be Saved
$55.99IVP Print On Demand Title
The question of salvation in relation to the world religions has become especially poignant in recent years. For evangelical theology, this query becomes even more pressing in light of the millions throughout history who have never heard the gospel. This group includes: the unborn, those who never reach an age of accountability, those who never achieve the capacity to understand the gospel, those who lived before the time of Christ, and those who live after Christ’s resurrection who are not evangelized. Tiessen offers a constructive approach in his reassessment of salvation in Christ and the world religions in this engaging and accessible volume. Who Can Be Saved? is divided into two sections; the first explores the many possibilities of how and what type of people are saved, while the second views how the world religions relate to God’s purposes in the world. Tiessen provides an important contribution to a Christian theology of religions, which is evangelically grounded and missiologically informed.

Missions Nationalism And The End Of Empire
$48.99Christian missions have often been seen as the religious arm of Western imperialism. What is rarely appreciated is the role they played in bringing about an end to the Western colonial empires after the Second World War. “Missions, Nationalism, and the End of Empire” explores this neglected subject.
Respected authorities on the history of missions explore new territory in these chapters, examining from diverse angles the linkages between Christianity, nationalism, and the dissolution of the colonial empires in Asia and Africa. This work not only sheds light on the relation of religion and politics but also uncovers the sometimes paradoxical implications of the church’s call to bring the gospel to all the world.

$41.50In the historical literature on mission, this book stands out for its detailed examination of the of the organization dynamics that gave shape-and brought enduring success-to the Evangelical Missionary Scoiety at Basel. A first-rate account of the early Basel Mission on the Gold Coast of West Africa (present-day Ghana), this volume takes readers inside the mission itself, revealing its dynamic, though sometimes contradictory, methods of motivation and discipline and how they impacted effective evangelism both at home and abroad. Working from archival records, Jon Miller details the collaboration across class lines that made the mission possible, and he shows how basic pietist beliefs about authority and obedience were the source of both the mission’s strengths and its most serious internal weaknesses. Also included are two dozen photographs, a foreword by Richard V. Pierard, and an afterword by Paul Jenkins.

Christians Cultural Interactions And Indias Religious Traditions
$41.50Christianity has long been one of India’s religious traditions, but the extent to which the faith has influenced Indian society and culture has never been well documented. This important book is the first to do so.
A group of historians, missiologists, and religion scholars examines the fascinating but little known history of missionary Christianity in India, showing how it has played a significant role in the development of modern India at every level. Chapters deal with the interaction between Christianity and India’s “high culture,” with aspects of conversion among tribal people and outcasts beneath the hierarchy of Hindu society, and with the development of Indian churches and their relation to the wider culture.

Vanishing Ministry In The 21st Century (Revised)
$18.991. The Mess Of Reality
2. The Devilish Diversion
3. The Company Of The Committed
4. The Road Back
17 PagesAdditional Info
Tom Brokaw labeled them the “Greatest Generation,” and for decades the vision and commitment of the World War II generation have changed the world. Christian ministries have flourished, and the gospel has circled the globe because of the lifelong service of the faithful believers in that generation. But times – and generations have changed. Today’s inheritors of the Great Commission are not signing up for vocations in Christian service at anywhere near the rate of their immediate predecessors. Given this alarming trend – coupled with aggressive evangelization by other world religions – what’s the future of the worldwide movement of the gospel message? In this updated and revised edition, Dr. Kroll provides a careful overview and able assessment of the condition of Christian ministries. He offers a penetrating look at the current state of vocational Christian ministry and the changes we’re making – and not making – around the world. He gives praise for progress made during the last decade and issues a renewed call for ongoing change.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

UnFreezing Moves : Following Jesus Into The Mission Field
$22.99At the dawn of the third millennium two kinds of churches fill the Western landscape: stuck and unstuck. Most Protestant congregations are stuck in the muck and mire of their institutions with little or no movement toward joining Jesus on the mission field. To these “Controllers,” faithfulness means supporting their church and keeping it open. For churches to be faithful to their God-given mission, they need Dreamers who are freed from their slavery to their institutions, freed to live for others on the mission field, and emancipated to function in a constantly changing world. The same can be said for denominations. This book focuses on how to place disciple – making at the core of a church’s identity. He describes four spheres of congregational culture, and he shows how the Dreams can thaw their congregation by using Nine Unfreezing Moves that will unstick any church.

Journey To Jesus
$29.99In this book, Robert Webber proposes an alternative: a model of worship that emphasizes the fact that those who come to worship are at very different points in their spiritual lives. Rather than ignore these differences or gear all worship to those already established in the faith, Webber argues that churches should openly recognize the stages of faith through which their members are passing, structure their worship and ministry to celebrate these stages, and openly encourage Christians to move from spiriual infancy to maturity in Christ.

Hope For The World
$28.00Hope for the world represents a new resolve and commitment to the global context for the ministry of the church. Missions, evangelism, and the theological education too often seem ill prepared to face the hopelessness commonly shared by both the northern and southern hemispheres. The older patterns of ministry, still unwittingly triumphalistic, cannot cope with the deeply rooted spiritual crisis that is manifested economically, plitically and militarily in the globalization of wealth.

What does it mean to teach English in the name of Christ? With thousands of Christians teaching English as a second or foreign language in hundreds of locations around the world, this has become as urgent question.Some Christian English teachers may consider their teaching simply as a means of service (combined with a bit of adventure). Others may see it only as a mean of getting a visa into a closed country for purposes of evangelism. Don Snow’s well-thought out details of how to bear witness, engage in ministry, serve the poor, contribute to peace, and build bridges of understanding between churches clearly show the special role in Christian missions that Christian English teachers have.

How To Reach Secular People
$23.99HOW TO REACH SECULAR PEOPLE
How do you communicate the Christian faith to the growing numbers of “secular” people in the western world? Pastors and Sunday school teachers who teach the faith week by week to professing Christians experience their assignment as increasingly difficult; so how do you communicate Christianity’s meaning to people who do not darken church doors, who have no church background, who possess no traditional Christian vocabulary, who do not know what we are talking about? The question presses us with greater intensity as we realize that the countries and populations of the western world have become “mission fields” once again.
The following pages contain a mere fraction of what we will one day know about effective mission in the western world. But they contain enough insight from communicators, congregations, and converts to help 99 percent of our churches to triple the number of new Christians they help into faith and thereby become contagious movements in their communities.

To Understand The World To Save The World
$14.00Christian missionaries often head out to the field with a single assessment of the human condition: Humans are fallen, sinful creatures in need of salvation. The reality of working in the field, however, challenges this theological assumption. In this provocative book the author offers an overview of the interface between missiology and the social sciences, such as anthropology and sociology. While the relationship between the two disciplines has often been superficial and uncritical, they have much to offer one another. The author’s insightful book explores the possiblities and the limits of the conversation between these two fields.

Out Of The Comfort Zone
$18.73Respected missionary and Christian leader George Verwer sums up his life experience with mission work-as a sender, doer, and trainer-and talks straight about what is really needed in missions in the 21st century. After forty-three years as leader of Operation Mobilization, one of the top missions organizations in the world, George Verwer declares the twenty-first century is no time for business as usual. No longer can or should mission agencies “compete” against each other for territories or funds. No longer should they be dogmatic on minor theological differences. To get the job done, mission workers and organizations need a grace-awakened approach. In Out of the Comfort Zone, Verwer identifies the key elements for working together to reach today’s world for Christ.

$41.05What is the church, and what is essential to it particularly in a post-Christian age? In contrast to “the City,” that is, the world(including the hedonism and narcissism of popular culture) that virtually all human beings now inhabit, the author calls upon the church to remember that it is “Another City” that does not compromise itself by giving allegiance to any political entity that belongs to this world. Instead, the church has the courage to live, like Isreal of old, in the diaspora as distinct minority, remaining an uncompromising and faithful servant of God’s final(though still future) triumph in the risen Christ.

Common Task
$26.99Christian mission takes place today in teh context of a pluralistic world, one in which the adherents of the various religious traditions are increasingly aware of and in dialogue with one another.

The author finds this common task in what he calls the mission of humanity: those obligations to one another and the world which all humans share.
