Listening to the Voices of Global Practitioners In Christian mission, we cross boundaries between the people of God and the not-yet people of God, declaring [God\'s] glory among the nations (Ps 96:3).
These contributors share the conviction that the Future of missions involves a growing Global church and missionary workforce joining hands to complete the Great ComMission amid severe opposition and disruption..
They are men and women from Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe who have served or presently serve in places across the world.
This book represents the diversity of the Global church.
As we ponder best Mission practices, it\'s wise to hear from Global practitioners--those who have been at it for a long time.
Mission in Praise, Word, and Deed addresses a wide range of critical concerns, such as informal theological education, Bible translation, business as mission, trauma care, and working on multicultural teams.
Based on decades of faithful service, they report on what they have learned about mission.
Though some contributors are scholars and even professors, most are field practitioners --evangelists, church planters, Bible translators, medical professionals, refugee workers, and community development specialists.
This book represents the latest in missiological thinking.
Thus, at its core, Mission intertwines praise, word, and deed.
We also care for the whole person.
In mission, we proclaim the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
Mission begins and ends in worship.
