Opis

This project is designed to explore and develop a missional model of leadership for Brazilian Evangelical churches. My aspiration is to help and encourage Brazilian pastors to understand leadership in urban cities essentially as a missionary endeavor. I intend to fully demonstrate that the church possesses a missionary nature that is central to their vision, inherent to its reason to be, and existence as a community of Christ. Consequently, missional leaders will not be able to see mission as merely a function, ministry, program, or commission of the church. I realize that, before defining the pastoral styles for the twenty-first century, missional pastors will have to recognize the missiological essence of the church, and consequently the missiological essence of its leadership. I will attempt to outline a ministry project with the following major sections: 1) Knowing "WHO we are" in terms of pastoral identity and leadership styles; 2) Knowing "WHERE we are" in terms of history and social context, thinking about the city missiologically; 3) Knowing "WHEN we are" in terms of cultures and globalization; 4) Knowing "WHAT and HOW to do" in developing incarnational models of ministry
