Mission Ministry

In our modern world the gospel of Jesus is seen by many less as good news for all humanity, and more as the bigoted edicts of a bygone era. Benjamin Chang explores the stories of the revolution, tracing the trajectories of four of the biggest social justice movements–feminism, racial justice, gay pride, and the trans movement–before looking at the ways Christians usually engage with these arenas of cultural conflict (mirror, argue, ignore) and identifying a better way forward.

Her parents were atheists, but something inside her told her that there had to be a Creator. After years of searching and study, she became a committed Christian. In her mid-30s, she found a church she loved and ministered to at-risk women. She thought she had found her perfect place in Christian service. She was wrong.

Thoughts on the Jungle Trail is the story of the Maxey family in Papua Indonesia. It is a story of adventure, challenge, tragedy, and victory as they worked among remote tribal people. It is the local people's story as well. You will hear Nomarlok tell of his first encounter with the White people, and Oa'dak tell of the day the people came to kill the Maxey family, and Amene tell his stories of war and cannibalism. This audiobook will inspire fellow pilgrims to press on. As you listen, marvel at the sovereignty of God and how He is building His people in Papua Indonesia.

Ever since Jesus' commission to make disciples in his name, Christianity has transformed lives and the world at large. To those watching, it must have looked like an upstart religion led by a group of men, most of whom were martyred for their beliefs. The voice of secular culture today is no louder and no more indulgent than it was in those days. And yet much of the Western church has settled for becoming just another mass media market that's adding to the noise, instead of a movement that continues to turn the world upside down.

You’ve said “yes” to God’s call to go, and now you will pack up your things and step into the unknown of a new location, people, and culture. The following years will likely include great joy, frustration, homesickness, difficulty, and excitement. In this book, ten women who have served on the mission field share what they wish they had known before they began. This book is a handbook for entering the mission field.

Let’s be honest. It can feel like the world is in a downward spiral. Bad news, division, and negativity can leave you feeling hopeless. Worse still, it can make you wonder if God even notices or cares. In Compassionate Love, Rick Allen answers the question: Does God care? with a resounding yes, and he proves it through multiple compelling stories of medical professionals serving in under-resourced locations around the world. These are stories of health, healing, and hope that will uplift, inspire, and open your eyes to God’s blessing.

In July of 1975, shortly after coming to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Ron Tyler prayed, “Lord, I will be anything you want me to be! I will go anywhere You want me to go! I will do anything you want me to do!”

Bob Roberts Jr. shows how present-day disciples of Jesus can find in their daily work the resources they need to transform the world for Christ. Roberts explains how ordinary Christians can embrace a kingdom perspective and watch their global connections become opportunities for fulfilling Jesus' Great Commission.

Is the way we do church making disciples of our people and helping them fulfil their God-given purpose? There can be no apathy, restlessness, or boredom in such a church! In his warm and candid style, Howard Webb shows how the scriptural model of church as a mission-centered family embracing its place is the way to both grow our people and grow the Kingdom. Here is a vision of church that has the power to transform us and our world.

Here I Am fills listeners with a passion for God, personal holiness, and the renewal of the church and wider world. It captures the tension between the power of God’s Word and that of personal stories, combining fresh teaching from Andy Hawthorne with first-hand testimonies from people transformed by Jesus Christ. Equipped with relevant and thought-provoking discussion questions and a series of short videos for personal reflection or group discussion, this resource provides an encouraging reminder of the impact the gospel can have.

Both an emerging term and a developing concept, business as mission (BAM) has drawn much fascination in both mission and business circles, with the concept of strategically using business to accomplish missional purposes. Though the term is ubiquitous in mission circles, there is great disparity in what it means. There has been much talk about BAM in theory, but far less research done on how it works out in reality.

As the transformational coach, one of Leanne’s greatest passions is equipping and empowering others to experience a transformation in their spirit, soul, body, and finances. Leanne is a power-packed minister on the subject of identity and destiny, as well as transforming cultures as priests and kings.

Think about Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000: What if only the first three rows were fed, leaving the last rows untouched? Similarly, despite Jesus’ call to spread his message to the “ends of the Earth,” over a third of the world lacks access to the gospel. Mission efforts disproportionately prioritize people with gospel access while ignoring those without. A mere penny from every dollar spent on foreign missions reaches the ends of the earth. Kelley, writing in a way that makes a legal scholar jealous, brings us the facts, figures, and passion to expose the massive wrong with compelling evidence.

Conundrums are the hurdles in our race to complete the great commission. They can make you run slower or trip you, so the race is never finished. Thus, the ideal solution is to remove the hurdles altogether. A conundrum is a “confusing and difficult problem or question”, which is often a roadblock to progress until and unless it is confronted and resolved. In this audiobook, I hope to address four primary categories, which in my opinion, have done damage to our efforts of fulfilling the Lord’s direct mandate.

Are you preparing to take the gospel to the nations? You’ve said “yes” to God’s call to go, and now you will pack up your things and step into the unknown of a new location, people, and culture.

In this book, ten men who have served in missions in various ways share what they wish they had known before they began.

A Just Mission examines evangelical mission from the perspective of the receiver, highlighting areas of weakness and naming injustices. Unveiling the negative impact of Western mission on the global church, Haddis addresses how white supremacy infiltrates and subverts mission organizations' good intentions, disrupting grassroots missions and local leadership development. Weaving together theology and Scripture with stories from people of color and diaspora groups, A Just Mission offers hope that the mission and message of Jesus can indeed become good news for all.

In Liturgical Mission, Winfield Bevins argues that the church's liturgy and sacramental life are in fact deeply missional. He explores the historic practices of the Christian church, demonstrating how they offer a holistic framework for everyday Christian discipleship and mission in the twenty-first century. The result is a book that not only invites all Christians back to the historic liturgy of the church, but also invites those already in liturgical churches to rediscover the missional life that has too often remained latent in their own traditions.
