Modes of Mission in New and Established Churches

Posted on October 1, 2015 by
October 1, 2015

To help clarify, challenge, and encourage church leaders (and their churches) towards missional effectiveness, it may be helpful to consider three modes of mission as embodied by the Petrine Mission (1 Peter 2:9–12), the Johannine Mission (John 20:21), and the Pauline Mission (the life of Paul).

by Harvey C. Kwiyani Orbis Books. 2014. —Reviewed by Ezekiel O. Ajani, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

by Ryan Shaw Intervarsity Press, 2014. —Reviewed by Benjamin D. Espinoza, community life pastor, Covenant Church, Bowling Green, Ohio.

Is English a Blessing or a Curse in Missions?

Posted on October 1, 2015 by
October 1, 2015

Christians are charged with taking the gospel to all nations, and therefore inevitably work in cross-cultural situations. But the current prominence of English as an international language creates potential problems in our approaches to missions and to communicating the gospel.

Let’s Leave Shahada to Real Muslims

Posted on October 1, 2015 by
October 1, 2015

I write as a follow up to Gene Daniel’s important contribution on shahada confession, which appeared in the July 2014 issue of EMQ. The author notes that among Christian missionaries “there is disagreement about whether a believer in Christ can, with a clear conscience, say the second half, that Muhammad is his [God’s] messenger.”

How Teams Work: A Case Study in Senegal, West Africa

Posted on October 1, 2015 by
October 1, 2015

The concept of North American missionaries serving overseas as part of a team is popular. The present generation of missionaries feels more comfortable working with others rather than launching out on their own. Mission agencies have picked up on this phenomenon and recruit people to be a part of a team for their organization as a mission strategy. While the idea is admirable, what is the difference between a team and a group?  

Celebrating Donald A. McGavran: A Life and Legacy

Posted on October 1, 2015 by
October 1, 2015

McGavran was a prolific writer of letters, articles, and books, as well as a world traveler. No one, to my knowledge, has visited as many mission fields, conducted as many interviews, or researched the growth and decline of Christian churches as widely as McGavran. He influenced mission theory and practice internationally and the movement he started continues to move forward, empowered by appreciative followers.
