Who is my “Cousin?”

Posted on September 24, 2016 by Marv Newell
September 24, 2016

by Marv Newell I have just returned from visiting two countries in Southeast Asia where I repeatedly heard Western Christian workers use the code word cousins in reference to Muslims. “Let’s remember to pray for our cousins,” “We now have a new outreach to cousins in the north,” and “We need new workers to cousins . . . read more

Common Errors About Christ’s Second Coming

Posted on August 17, 2016 by Marv Newell
August 18, 2016

Posted by Marvin Newell. What is your opinion about the second coming of Christ? How does it inform your missiology? More specifically, how does it relate to your idea of “finishing the task?” Jesus promised us that he would be with us until “the end of the age” (Mt 28:20). Most consider that end will . . . read more

Posted on July 20, 2016 by Missio Nexus
July 20, 2016

posted by Marv Newell Most of us have heard and even probably have used the idiom, “It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,” referring to something virtually impossible to find. But what is a haystack? When we drive through the countryside during harvest time we see either rectangular bales or giant round balls . . . read more

June 23, 2016

Missiologically Aware by Marv Newell  William Borden was a 25 year-old handsome bachelor, bright, cultured, and refined at the time of his death in Egypt in 1913.

Posted on May 20, 2016 by Marv Newell
June 21, 2016

Posted by Marv Newell, Sr. Vice President, Missio Nexus Here’s a question worth considering … With the spreading decay of Christianity across the West, how is it affecting our confidence in the North American missions movement?

The Greatest Injustice

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Marv Newell
June 21, 2016

Marv Newell, Sr. Vice President, Missio Nexus “The greatest injustice in the world is not giving someone opportunity to hear a clear presentation of the gospel.” Most likely you have heard this statement, which is becoming more and more a cliché, in some form or other. But its increasing commonness does not minimize its truism. . . . read more

Is Evangelism Ever a Sin?

Posted on March 21, 2016 by Marv Newell
June 21, 2016

Marv Newell, Sr. V.P. Missio Nexus Some would be shocked to question that any effort to evangelize could ever be sinful. Is it possible that intentional outreach, the centerpiece of world evangelization, could at times be wrong? After all, is not the primary responsibility of believers to evangelize all peoples, in all places, at all . . . read more

Predictions of Gospel Advance in 2016

Posted on January 4, 2016 by Marv Newell
June 21, 2016

I am neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet. But, looking over the landscape of global missions, I would like to offer an informed prediction of what is in store for gospel advance in 2016. Because the globalization of missions and ministry continues unabated, we can be optimistic about what 2016 will bring. . . . read more

What Papuans Taught Me About Christmas

Posted on December 14, 2015 by Marv Newell
July 15, 2016

When my wife and I arrived almost 40 years ago as young, novice missionaries on the island of Irian Jaya – now called Papua – Indonesia, we had a steep learning curve ahead of us.
