Essential. Critical. Revolutionary. Be prepared for Christian missions strategist Luis Bush to change the way you think about missions forever. Twenty years ago, Bush introduced the concept of the 10/40 Window (an area between 10 degrees and 40 degrees latitude where the gospel is least present) and radically altered the landscape of missions. Now, Bush is urging Christians to reprioritize and redirect their energies at the youth of nations. A great opportunity exists to develop and mobilize a new generation of Christ followers, especially those between the ages of 4 to 14; This is the 4/14 Window.

The most vital mission field of the church is growing fast - and growing up all around us. How will we connect today's children to the full impact of the Gospel while we can still reach them? God created children in His image. That alone give them inherent worth, and means God has expectations about their dignity and development. In fact, God's goal is nothing less than "life to the full" for each one (John 10:10). A full life means a whole life. Yet as Dan Brewster makes clear in Future Impact, many children today face almost overwhelming barriers, like poverty and prejudice, that deny them the wholeness for which God created them. Our challenge? The church is uniquely called to remove those barriers for the children in our midst and around the world. Join Dan Brewster in this insightful study of children and their rightful place in the church's mission strategy. In this book, you'll explore: -The theological foundations of ministry to children -The ethics of child evangelism across cultures -The components of biblical, holistic child development -Practical applications of church-based child development programs -Why childhood years have proven to be the prime time for people to both hear and respond to the gospel -Unexpected resources to enhance the effectiveness of your outreach to children Discover why children have been, and continue to be, one of God's most cherished resources in advancing His kingdom. You'll never see a child in the same way again.

In this accessible and straightforward book, Dr. Scott C. Todd outlines a battle plan and vision for the war on extreme poverty by pointing out the progress made in the last few decades. Most compellingly, he notes that In 1981, 52% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty (living on less than $1 a day). As of 2005 that number is 26%. “We have cut the percentage of people living in extreme poverty in half. And we did it in one generation!” the author asserts. Based on the themes of Isaiah 58, Fast Living presents a theological foundation, hard statistics, and human stories that can motivate a generation of Christians to end extreme global poverty. The book calls the church to lead the war on poverty by fasting and praying, and joining with organizations that are already doing mission and humanitarian work around the world. Dr. Todd encourages the Christian Church to take its rightful position in the battle against poverty. 100% of the proceeds from Fast Living will benefit children in need.
