The contribution of monks to the evangelization of lands not yet reached by the preaching of the Gospel has certainly been remarkable. The specific witness that the monastic community gives is of a radical Christian life naturally radiating outward, and thus it is implicitly missionary. The process of inculturation of Christian monasticism in China required a bold spiritual attitude of openness to the future and a willingness to accept the transformation of monastic forms that had been received. In "Christian Monks on Chinese Soil," Matteo Nicolini-Zani highlights the willingness of...

A relatively unknown Canadian Free Methodist minister, J. W. Haley (1878-1951) served, along with his family, as a church-planter and pastor in Saskatchewan and Ontario as well as a missionary in Mozambique and South Africa (1902-1934); finally initiating new ministry in Burundi and Rwanda (1935-1946).

Following a conventional missionary career in Southern Africa, Haley was challenged by the work of Roland Allen and others regarding the indigenous church building model. In the early 1930s, in his fifties, Haley explored and then initiated a new ministry model in Ruanda-Urundi (a...

" ... we are hearing a call to a fresh understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in our world."

From its origins among Latin American theologians, the term 'integral mission' has become a widely-accepted way to describe the totality of God's mission in the world. It is used to express the ways of serving the whole person, making no distinction between spiritual, social, physical and mental, exemplified in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.

In order to become mature co-builders of the Kingdom of God, we need to grasp the Biblical basis for integral mission, and...

"Harvey Turner is one of the better evangelists I have had the privilege of knowing. He personifies what he writes here.

Here's an amazing story--amazing because it is HIS story. It is Doris Ekblad-Olson's testimony to God's faithfulness, humor, incredible guidance, protection and loving care, evident whether in America, Canada, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Australia, Mongolia, Malaysia, Panama, India, or Russia. God proves Himself full of surprises.

As this book illustrates, God still searches among His children for those available to share
His heart by prayer or simple service. He will turn that into an eternal chain reaction which,
if only we could see it, would blow our minds. This...
