Mission Ministry

Digital Missionary outlines the compelling power of publishing and media, encouraging every Christian to pick up their pen or get behind their keyboard or microphone and flood the world with gospel resources that can endure as ongoing ministry long after they’re gone.

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.

The winners of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting tell the astonishing story of Mary Clarke. At the age of 50, Clarke left her comfortable life in suburban Los Angeles to follow a spiritual calling to care for the prisoners in one of Mexico's most notorious jails. She actually moved into a cell to live among drug kingpins and petty thieves. She has led many of them through profound spiritual transformations in which they turned away from their lives of crime, and she has deeply touched the lives of all who have witnessed the depth of her compassion.

As Catholic theologian, historian, and papal biographer George Weigel notes, the next pope will probably have been a teenager or a very young man during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965); he may even have been a child during those years. Thus the next pope will not have been shaped by the experience of the Council and the immediate debates over its meaning and reception like Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis.

In the 1980s, Erika Bornman’s family join, and ultimately move to, KwaSizabantu, a Christian mission based in KwaZulu-Natal, which is touted as a nirvana, founded on egalitarian values. But something sinister lurks beneath ‘the place where people are helped’. Life at KwaSizabantu is hard. Christianity is used to justify harsh punishments, and congregants are forced to repent for their sins. Threats of physical violence ensure adherence to stringent rules. Parents are pitted against children. Friendships are discouraged.

Pastor and missionary Steven Ray Bragg once fell from the ministry, and God picked him up and restored him to serve in the Philippines. This book is the story of God working in Pastor Steve's life to accomplish His will of starting new Christian churches in the Philippines. He currently has thirty-five churches in remote, isolated communities. These communities have no other churches, and many are hearing the gospel for the first time.

This book outlines powerful, yet simple steps to begin confidently sharing your faith with those you come in contact with each and every day. Through a collection of real-life scenarios and simple steps that demonstrate Jesus’ commission to make disciples, you will learn how to share your faith with coworkers, family, and friends in an authentic, kindhearted, and casual way.

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 Invasion of Light, mission leaders Brian and JJ Weller announce the higher call of victory in spiritual battle. It’s no time to retreat—it’s time to invade the world with the light of God’s Kingdom!

Christianity is the faith of the poor. As Christians, we worship the Lord Jesus Christ, who “though he was rich, yet for your sake became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2 Cor 8:9). How do we discern the best responses to poverty? How should we as ministers, church leaders, and businesspeople engage in our communities? Sometimes it seems that we in the modern American church stand on opposite sides of an impassible gulf as we talk about poverty and justice.

With subversive twists and turns, mesmeric highs, and gut-wrenching lows, Pete Atkinson's "ambitious and captivating" debut work skillfully weaves the threads which run from Genesis to Revelation, marrying brevity and listenability with scale, depth, and detail. "Impeccably researched", this "beautifully written" rendering features three narrative voices.

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.

The gospel message transcends cultures, but human communication does not. In Transforming Communication missionary and professor Vee J. D-Davidson provides principles for the intercultural communication of Christ. Using her twenty-five-plus years of experience teaching as a Westerner in Asia as a starting point, Davidson provides transferable principles that encourage awareness of context-specific issues and that see opportunities for intercultural communication as wholly unique opportunities, regardless of any perceived communication barriers.

A lo largo de los siglos, muchas de estas cuestiones desconcertantes han frustrado el cumplimiento de la Gran Comisión. En este libro, espero abordar cuatro categorías principales que, en mi opinión, han perjudicado nuestros esfuerzos por cumplir el mandato directo del Señor. Estos Enigmas de la Gran Comisión se refieren a la financiación, la política, la responsabilidad y la filosofía.

What is there about a dying church that brings glory to God? Mark Clifton's convicting answer is "nothing". Because a local church is intended to represent the work of God in a community, when that church "loses it saltiness", not only is God's work pictured as irrelevant in that community, but also dishonor and disrepute may well become associated with God's name as a result.

In this sequel to At the End of the Village, Lisa Leidenfrost describes life in her village in Côte d' Ivoire. Although there are exciting stories about the local witch doctor and escaping from a civil war, life as a missionary is often surprisingly normal. Family life need not be crowded out by frenetic translation schedules and fundraising furloughs.

People are longing for the wholeness that can only come through Christ, yet we, the Christian church are not finding the ways to make the connection between the longing in their hearts and the truth of the gospel. What does it mean for them to encounter a Christianity that is more than a cliché? It is the 6 Radical Decisions at the heart of the Kingdom Cell, that time and again over the last 2,000 years have transformed cities and nations. It is the 6 Radical Decisions that provide a way forward for the church in the 21st Century.

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.
