This is a must-read for anyone aspiring to be used by God to manifest a kingdom-building lifestyle in cross-cultural contexts.

Tracing the rise of Christianity to its key role in Europe's maritime and colonial expansion, this text sheds light on the ways in which societies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have been drawn into the Christian orbit.

Every follower of Jesus Christ should be able to answer two simple questions: Who is investing in me? Who am I investing in? God desires to pour an abundance of spiritual and emotional capital into your life. And he wants to use you to pour spiritual and emotional capital into others. Along the way, you'll be changed. Others will change. You will experience God and his community in a new and personal and supernatural way. And so will others. God calls this process of spiritual investing “making disciples.” It’s the heart of the Great Commission. It’s the vision of a great local church. It’s the secret of a healthy joyful, secure, and significant life.

A contemporary evaluation of the history and present status of Southern Baptist Missions For more than 175 years the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has been sending missionaries around the world to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has also developed strategies and methods that have been adopted by numerous other missions groups. Make Disciples of All Nations tells the story of this groundbreaking organization, including its most recent developments. Besides recounting its historical development, the contributors to this volume critically evaluate the IMB's strategies and methods, as well as examine its controversies, regional developments, and organizational changes. The concluding chapter explores how Southern Baptist missions can best adapt to an era of global Christianity. Students, missionaries, and those involved in supporting them will be informed and encouraged by this account of one of the oldest and largest missions organizations in the world.

From the Publisher: From Luke's story in the Book of Acts, Amstutz describes and gives contemporary examples of that which is "infinitely reproducible" in nurturing indigenous national church planting movements. An evaluative field questionnaire and practical study guide help assess and apply these "infinite reproducibles" which make possible the fulfilling of Christ's commission to "make disciples of all nations"...until He comes.

The messages in this book were delivered at the Third World Convention of Christian Missionary Fellowship International at her headquarters in Koume, Bertoua, Cameroon from 8th to 17th December, 2019 to brethren of the Community from 93 nations from the six continents. We were gathered to give account to God, thank and celebrate Him who blessed and enabled us to accomplish the Phase 2 goal of our work. These messages serve as an orientation for the pursuit of the goal, and directives for our work in the next five to seven years. In pursuing these directives as a disciple-making movement, God being our Helper, and by the blessings of the Lord, we expect to be a community in which every member loves the Lord Jesus or returns to the first love for the Lord Jesus. Our heart cry to the Lord is that these messages would help keep us on the rails and stir us to work hard at accomplishing the goal that we joyously accepted from and committed ourselves to before our blessed Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

In 1974, we were challenged by Dr. Bill Bright, "Because of the Urgency of the hour, if you ever plan to do anything for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, DO IT NOW!" This is the story of one ordinary couple, committed to Jesus Christ, with the power of the Holy Spirit, taking the Bible, the Jesus Film, Campus Crusade for Christ Discipleship Training and other effective Discipleship Training to help fulfill the Great Commission in many countries of the world. This faith ministry was made possible through the prayers and help of many people and churches with their personal support to glorify, magnify, and honor the Lord Jesus Christ. One of the reasons we believe that the Lord blessed this effort was making a written Partnership Agreement between all Evangelical Churches of the Body of Christ. This was to help them understand how we come as Servants of the Body of Christ and Servants of Jesus to assist them to plant their own churches and give every person at least one chance to hear the Gospel and have an opportunity for Follow Up, reaching every village. You will find detailed reports of how this happened and how any one committed to Jesus Christ can do the same thing.

The power of the gospel to transform individual lives has been evident throughout New Testament history. But what of the darkness and poverty that enslave entire nations? Miller builds a powerful, convincing thesis that God's truth can free whole societies from deception and poverty. Excellent study of worldviews!
