Another Training Seminar? Ugh!

Posted on July 1, 1991 by
July 1, 1991

Adult learning research shows that too often highly trained, highly motivated people, like the missionaries and church leaders we serve, are not highly motivated when it comes to sitting through training seminars.

Your Church-Planting Team Can Be Booby-Trapped

Posted on July 1, 1991 by
July 1, 1991

Like the thousands of Iraqi landmines strewn across the desert, potential booby traps can blow up in the faces of church-planting teams that take to the mission field with high enthusiasm but little knowledge of the territory.

Phasing out Your Work: Make it a Plan, Not a Crisis

July 1, 1991

Joachim Hettiarachi, principal of the Ibbagamuwa high school, arrived home one afternoon to find a mother and her teenage daughter waiting for him. The girl was ill.

Posted on July 1, 1991 by
July 1, 1991

According to the Jesuit-sponsored Bellarmino Center and the Chilean Department of Sociological Research, Protestantism has exploded in Chile. In 1970, the “evangelicos” (synonym for Protestants) comprised 5.1 percent of Chile’s people; in 1980, 7.5 percent, and in 1985, 9.6 percent.

Reflections of a Maturing MK: Grappling with Tough Latin Realities

Posted on July 1, 1991 by
July 1, 1991

Posted on July 1, 1991 by
July 1, 1991

The Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA, Kenya), which grew out of the pioneering missionary zeal of the Church of Scotland in 1891, will be celebrating its centenary this September.
