Renewal in Theological Education: Strategies for Change (A Bgc Monograph Series)

Ferris, Robert W.

At the Working Consultation on Partnership in World Mission (1991), mission executives and prominent evangelical leaders explored the increasingly important role of partnership in world evangelization. Through their stories, principles, case studies of partnerships and small working group reports, the papers presented in this book provide a panoramic picture of partnership in action-either by geographic areas, church-to-church or mission-to-mission. Groups interested in establishing partnerships as well as believers pursuing greater unity in the Body of Christ will find valuable help in this book.

Partners in the Gospel: The Strategic Role of Partnership in World Evangelization (Bgc Monograph)

Not long after missionary David Filbeck, and his wife Deloris, arrived in Thailand in 1960, he was confronted with the questions, "Who was born first, Buddha or Jesus?" In the thinking of Thai Buddhists, because Buddhism is the older religion, it should also be the more respected religion. David's answer was to counter this question with his own, "Who was born first, Abraham or Buddha?" This answer allowed him to emphasize that God's plan of salvation actually began with his call to Abraham, long before the time of Buddha. But this question and answer forced David Filbeck to pay more attention to the Old Testament as the basis for the Great Commisiion imperative to preach the gospel to all nations.For all who have been confronted with the question, "Why Christian missions in a highly pluralistic age?" helpful answers can be found in this book. The New Testament church in the book of Acts used a missionary interpretation of the Old Testament to justify porclaiming the gospel to the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:5-6, Acts 13:46-47), and Dr. Filbeck asserts the church must maintain this interpretation yet today.

The greatest numerical growth of the Christian faith in all history has taken place over the past few decades in many parts of the non-Western world. However, until fairly recently, few Christian mission agencies in the Western world existed specifically to assist and enhance the work of indigenous ministries. Today, over a hundred mission agencies identify themselves as being primarily concerned with supporting independent missionary movements in the non-Western world. This book promotes discussion of the issues involved in supporting these movements and contributes to the growing awareness that missionaries of other nations deserve the same care and support we afford our own.

Supporting Indigenous Ministries: With Selected Readings

Since it was first published in 1953, the Mission Handbook (under various names and publishers) has been providing leaders in the mission community with invaluable and comprehensive information on the who, what, where, and how of North American mission agencies. This special 21st edition (2010) of the Handbook provides you with nearly 1,000 agencies working overseas. Each listing includes contact information, types of mission activity, areas of service, personnel statistics, and more. An in-depth analysis of North American missions gives you a synopsis of trends and comparisons in North American missions.Only a book that is meeting a very significant need would ever reach twenty-one editions! This volume provides the contact and vision information for upwards of one thousand agencies, thousands of missionaries, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers and short-term missionaries.---Doug McConnell, dean of the School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller SeminaryThis volume is far more than the listing of 1,000 mission agencies---it highlights the continued fervor and willingness of obedient followers of Jesus to represent, globally, our Lord and his transforming gospel.---Byron D. Klaus, president of Assemblies of God Theological SeminaryI do not know of any other source of information related to the mission effort of North American Christianity that comes close to the treasure of data found in the Handbook.---Elias Dantas, president of the Center for Studies in Global Christianity, inc.I have kept a copy of the Handbook on my desk for over a decade. I have found it to be one of the most helpful resources for myself and my students.---Timothy C. Tennent, president and professor of world missions at Asbury Theological SeminaryLong ago, the Handbook became an indispensable and frequently consulted part of my reference library. Each successive edition seems to excel the previous one.---Jonathan J. Bonk, executive director of Overseas Ministries Study CenterThe Handbook is an excellent, ready reference book which I've used countless times over the years. I'm not sure where I'd go for a great deal of this information.---Greg H. Parsons, general director of the U.S. Center for World MissionThis volume is not designed to sit on your shelf and collect dust. Get it, rejoice in what the Lord is doing through our brothers and sisters, and use it to assist you in kingdom advancement!---J. D. Payne, associate professor of church planting and evangelism at The Southern Baptist Theological SeminaryThis trustworthy and rich reference tool has a well-earned place on the bookshelves of all who care about global outreach.---Evvy Hay Campbell, chair of Intercultural Studies at the Wheaton College Graduate SchoolI keep the Handbook in arm's reach of my desk since I refer to it frequently.---Marv Newell, executive director of CrossGlobal LinkGreat Commission activity in North America is increasingly decentralized and very difficult to summarize. But nothing comes close to the snapshot provided by the Mission Handbook.---Steve Moore, president and CEO of The Mission ExchangeOur urban francophone theological network, URBANUS, has its roots in the Handbook. God uses tools like this to birth the most amazing initiatives.---Glenn Smith Chretienne in Montreal
