What world missions ministry would arise if you only had the Bible? Answer: It would start and end with the local church. A focus on the local church is biblical, practical, and effective. It aligns with the New Testament. Local churches everywhere display God's wisdom and the glory of Christ in the gospel. You’ll see it from the view of Christ, the Great Commission, first-century Christians, Paul, and the New Testament canon itself. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it! This book walks through these steps: A.

The Book of Philippians is one of the most quotable, stirring, and rousing segments of the New Testament. Yet when Paul the missionary and apostle wrote this manifesto while chained in Rome, did he merely intend for his readers to divvy it up into a handful of inspirational slogans? Or did he have a deeper purpose in mind for the church? Paul’s epistle to the Philippians sports many pivotal motifs—joy, suffering, humility, and encouragement. Underneath all these themes, Philippians is a book of mission.

As young men, Kurt Ver Beek, an American sociologist, and Carlos Hernández, a Honduran schoolteacher, devoted their lives to helping the poor. But it wasn't until they moved to an extraordinarily dangerous neighborhood in Honduras that they came to a radical conclusion: The charity world was combating poverty incorrectly. In gripping prose, journalist Ross Halperin chronicles how these two best friends became quasi vigilantes and charged into a series of life-and-death battles.

Jesús nos envía al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envió a él. Sin embargo, aun miles de años después, muchos cristianos todavía no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la misión cristiana es evangelizar y «salvar almas». Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. ¿Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones está en lo correcto por si sola?

The church is the origin, means, and end of missions. Scripture calls on missionaries to start and strengthen churches where new believers—and more missionaries—can grow. But today, many Christians downplay the role of the church in favor of pragmatism and parachurch ministries, weakening the missions cause. In this brief guide, pastors John Folmar and Scott Logsdon share their decades of experience working as pastors in Muslim countries. Showing how healthy churches are essential for fulfilling the Great Commission, they teach biblical ecclesiology and missiology with wisdom.

Adoniram Judson was unique in his time. He and his wife were among the first missionaries to be sent out from the United States, and his entire ministry was a series of intense mountains and valleys. Adoniram showed a level of commitment and willingness to push through suffering and hard times far beyond what the vast majority of Christians would be willing to endure. His legacy as a pioneer on multiple levels is one that will last through this earth’s remaining time and into the heavenly library. Despite unimaginable hardships, Judson's work bore fruit that continues to impact lives today.

What if Mother Teresa or Billy Graham lived and worked — and nobody knew their names? What if one of the church’s most influential missionaries went almost unnoticed? Meet Katharine (Katy) Barnwell. Within Bible translation, she’s a legend. Outside of Bible translation, few have heard of her. But not even Billy Graham holds a candle to what God did through Katy.

The untold story of William Haas, pioneering missionary to central Africa and founder of Baptist Mid-Missions. In the early 1900s, a question loomed large: who would take the gospel to central Africa, one of the world’s last regions untouched by missions.

For more than one hundred years, E. Stanley Jones has led the way in evangelism by contextualizing Christ in the existing culture, wherever that may be.

In fact, they have had more questions on this topic than on any other. Their message was clear: Sharing the Gospel with Muslims is no easy task. I have come to believe that their greatest need is not a book that presents stories or testimonies to share with Muslims or one that gives sample conversations with Muslims.
