Modern Missions

Trendy new missions strategies are a dime a dozen, promising missionaries monumental results in record time. These strategies report explosive movements of people turning to Christ, but their claims are often dubious and they do little to ensure the health of believers or churches that remain. How can churches and missionaries address the urgent need to reach unreached people without falling for quick fixes?

Across the church, there is a rift between theology and missions. Bad theology produces bad missions, and bad missions fuel bad theology. We wrongly think that we must choose between making a global impact and thinking deeply about the things of God. But the relationship between theology and missions is symbiotic—one cannot exist without the other. They walk hand in hand.

The corporate ladder is gone. It's been replaced by a game—and if you don't know the rules, you're going to lose. For nearly twenty years, John D. Romero climbed to the top 1% of U.S. income earners, holding elite financial licenses (Series 7, 66, 24) and advising thousands of clients—from struggling families to $150M net-worth individuals. Then, he walked away. Why? Because the corporate world quietly replaced true leaders with corporate cowards who climb via flattery, credit-theft, and politics instead of excellence.

Captain Andy Phelps isn’t just bold—he’s brilliant, relentless, and charming in a way that makes dangerous feel delicious. But when sparks fly, secrets surface, and love lands faster than ...

In this classic work, John Stott shows that a Christian mission must encompass both evangelism and social action. He begins with careful definitions of five key terms-mission, evangelism, dialogue, salvation and conversion. Then, through a thorough biblical exploration of these concepts, Stott provides a model for ministry to people's spiritual and physical needs alike.

She is ready to serve, if only she can believe she is worthy of the call. There is just one problem. Someone else is already holding the map. Nate Kincaid ...

Jesús nos envía al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envió a él. Sin embargo, aun miles de años después, muchos cristianos todavía no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la misión cristiana es evangelizar y «salvar almas». Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. ¿Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones está en lo correcto por si sola?
