January 1, 2016

by Werner Mischke Mission ONE, 2015. —Reviewed by Soojin Chung, PhD student, Boston University.  Werner Mischke utilizes his extensive experiences in the Middle East to construct a biblical paradigm of “honor and shame” to better minister to the Majority World.

#Iwitness: God at Work in the Muslim World

Posted on January 1, 2016 by
January 1, 2016

“Don’t make ripples, make waves” said Van, an elderly, Californian, ocean-loving product of the Jesus Movement.

I was making my way across Cuba in a Tico, which has the interior space the size somewhere in between a toaster and a VW beetle.

#Iwitness: More than Refugees in the Middle East

Posted on January 1, 2016 by
January 1, 2016

Iraq is suffering, Assyria is in pain. Biblically, the Assyrian Empire was stretching all over the Middle East, including Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and parts of Iran, and some other regions.
