The Macedonian Call in the Twenty-first Century: Partnering for Contextual Equipping of International Missionaries

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
April 5, 2019

The late 1980s and early 1990s were perhaps the most exciting days of modern missions—the Iron Curtain fell, and immediately over twenty countries and four hundred million people had access to the gospel. 

Enhancing Character Development through Soul Care

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
April 5, 2019

As Richard stood staring out his office window, he knew something was wrong. His enthusiasm for ministry that had accompanied him for nearly thirty years was gone. He was tired, spiritually dry, and growing bitter about his situation.

The Secret of Sports Ministry: Lessons from Japan

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
August 31, 2020

College friends wore our fundraiser T-shirts around campus. Team parents praised us for flying across the world to spread the gospel. In Japan, we were guests of honor.

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
April 5, 2019

Migration & Diaspora: God’s Movement to Reach More People

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
April 5, 2019

A little over ten years ago I was introduced to English as a Second Language (ESL) for the first time. A student at the local seminary who was fluent in Spanish had started an ESL class at a small Hispanic Baptist church in one of the suburbs of New Orleans and needed some help with her growing class. 

The International Church for a Global World

Posted on July 1, 2017 by Ted Esler
April 5, 2019

The International Church is a kairos call to a profound need and compelling opportunity. God is sovereignly and supernaturally planting and building international churches in unparalleled numbers around the globe. The unprecedented diaspora scattering has created cutting-edge potential for the International Church to reach every tribe, tongue, and nation.
