Two hundred and fifty Presidents and Academic Deans (PAD) representing theological schools from 53 nations gathered at the Doxa Deo Church in Pretoria, South Africa, July 1-3, 1997 to consider ways in which the schools they lead can further the goal of “a church for every people and the gospel for every person.”
The Missionary’s Lifestyle
One of the joys of raising our kids in the Philippines was not having to compare our lifestyle with rich neighbors’. Keeping up with the Gonzaleses took on a whole new meaning.

Recruitment Crisis
It was late summer 1939. I was relaxing on the streets of my hometown, thinking about visiting my aunt’s market stand for something to eat. Not a care in the world. Until I glanced at the headlines in the newspapers being hawked on the street corner. A huge, foreboding statement jumped out at me: CRISIS IN EUROPE.
Redefining Holism
The word “mission” seems to embrace any and every enterprise sincere Christians undertake.
Another Look at ‘Holistic Mission’: A Response
This article is a response to the article “Redefining Holism,” by David J. Hesselgrave (July, 1999).
Biblical Holism and Secular Thought in Christian Development
Secular development. At the very heart of the secular concept of human development is the belief in a better future world. The road to material well-being follows either the capitalist or the socialist route. These two basic views, both of which are economic theories, have not been challenged for at least 100 years.

What Local Churches Are Saying to Mission Agencies
I am writing this as someone committed to the local church and the local church’s role in world evangelism.

Periodically Speaking, Mission Magazines Starting to Dot the Web
Back in the “old days” (say, two or three years ago), if you wanted to read a missions magazine, journal, newsletter, or bulletin, you’d have to subscribe—or go to a local seminary library. Not surprisingly, the World Wide Web is providing options most of us never enjoyed in grad or Bible school.
In Search of Ecclesolasticity
What is “ecclesiolasticity”? On the mundane level it is what came out of my mouth when I recently got my tongue twisted around two more standard items in the dictionary, ecclesiology and ecclesiastical.
Noted Ministry
The spoken verse hung in the air like the dust raised by a passing truck. The men and women in the church in Ghana waited expectantly following the reading from the Vagla New Testament.
My Child in the National School
When we went to Belgium in 1982, our daughter was 4 years old. Like Belgian children that age, she was expected to be in school seven and a half hours a day. So, four days after our arrival on the field, we enrolled our excited little girl, armed with a shiny new book bag, new pencils, and a new eraser.
Missions Should Not Target the Unreached
Eleven years ago my wife and I moved in among the unreached. We surveyed our area and found no believers, not one. They were unresponsive, too. I still remember planning and praying for our first event.
Stop Writing to My Mother
You’d like my mom. She’s committed to missions, and she’d be interested in your work. There’s no detail of your life too small to be of interest to her; to Mom, there’s no such thing as a boring missionary newsletter.
Microsoft and Missiology
Reading Fortune magazine is not part of my routine, although I must confess that mission work at the end of the century shares some of the characteristics of international business operations.
