In early November 1834, an aristocratic young couple from Savannah and South Carolina sailed from New York and began a seventeen-year odyssey in West Africa.

The Cross-cultural Worker’s Spiritual Survival Guide results from collaborating with dozens of cross-cultural member care workers through the Global Member Care Network. I asked these Missionary Care Providers who serve thousands of missionaries worldwide, this one question: “What is the greatest spiritual neglect of missionaries that come to you for help?” The response was overwhelming. This, along with my years of service as a missionary among the Zulu people in South Africa and interacting with hundreds of missionaries over the years, led me to write this book. Scattered across the...

Sweetly Set on God introduces listeners to the life and journal writings of David Brainerd (1718-1747), best remembered for his missionary work among the American Indians. Dustin Benge begins by presenting the events of Brainerd's short life and the intense personal spiritual piety that undergirded his pioneering missionary work. Then, in fifty-one excerpts drawn from Brainerd's journal, listeners will discover his evangelical humiliation, his understanding that God had altered his sinful human nature, his sensitivity to sin, and his holiness of life.

Being a missionary in Ivory Coast, West Africa, is not only about dangers, hard work, and culture shock, interspersed with moments of high joy and deep sorrow. It is life found in the small and daily things, the quotidian experience that renders familiar a vastly different way of life, a life at the edge of the village. This book collects Lisa Leidenfrost's sketches of missionary life, compiled from letters sent home from Ivory Coast to her church in the United Sates.

It is a story of Joshua Blahyi growing up in Africa, becoming a pagan priest in a local tribe to becoming one of the most feared warlords in Liberia. (Fighting naked and making human sacrifices. Forcing children to abandon their families and fight.) Then, in a radical transformation akin to that of Paul on the road to Damascus, Joshua met Jesus. Joshua is now a changed man. He reforms the lives of his former soldiers and raises three children with his wife. He is an evangelist in Liberia.

They operate like a close knit family, sleeping rough under a bridge, supporting each other in their desperate daily struggle for survival, but this group of Filipino street children has a weakness worse than poverty.

In the study of warfare, great men have concluded that there are some overriding principles which, if followed, will always tend toward success in battle, and if neglected or ignored, will tend toward defeat or even destruction. These principles have been entitled the "principles of war." But not all warfare is waged on a battlefield: every Christian is called to be a soldier. Our fight is against Satan, our objective is the acknowledgment and fulfillment of God's commands, and our ammunition is the power of the Holy Spirit.

Gagan Gurung never expected he would become a Christian, let alone a missionary and never would have believed he would become a missionary to America. His family was from Nepal, but they lived in a difficult time in Bhutan. His father had taken the family to Bhutan to find work.

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.

In 1991, the Iron Curtain was coming down. The Soviet Union was in collapse and Eastern Europe was entering an era of sweeping change. Six Florida teens and their 28-year-old leader joined a student exchange trip to Siberia, entirely unprepared for the impact that their young lives—and more importantly, their faith in Jesus Christ—would have on a country emerging from 70 years of enforced atheism. The Cold War would not end, as many feared, in a nuclear holocaust. Instead, Russia was about to experience a fresh encounter with the Prince of Peace.
