Book Description

"Charles Spurgeon once said, "You're either a missionary or an imposter." To be a Christ-follower means joining Jesus on his mission to redeem humanity. But missional living is easier said than done in a culture drifting toward post-Christian secularism. More than ever, we need a dose of Jesus' missionary ethos to fill our minds with gospel passion ... Each chapter of this book highlights missionary heroes--historical and modern-day Christians--who challenge us to join God's redemptive mission ... You'll find that God uses ordinary, run-of-the-mill folks to extend his glory into the earthly setting. Author David Joannes draws upon history, psychology, life experience, and powerful storytelling to reshape your perception of God's unique plan for your life. He says, "If you really want to thrive on mission, you must allow God to redefine your definition of the normal Christian life."--Publisher

Book Description

You've been a sending church for years. You're known as the missions-minded standout in your local community. Each year you host missionaries home on furlough, eager to share their stories from the field with your church and the faithful supporters of their ministry year upon year. Still, you can't help but wonder: Is there more to missionary care than this-writing checks, hosting furloughs, and offering up occasional prayers? There is! And what's missing may surprise you. It goes way beyond support checks and missionary photos on the church wall, instead aiming straight for the heart of God's vision for the nations and His Church's mission to the world. What's more, you'll find it's the missing link between anemic missionaries who burn out and resilient missionaries who thrive. Mind the Gaps compiles firsthand accounts from an experienced and practicing missionary care ream in a local church which seeks to equip your church with the tools it needs to create a system of proactive care for the missionaries you send into the world. Learn how to come alongside those you send, and care for them as they care for others. Don't let those you send get caught in the vicious cycle of burnout and attrition. The stakes are too high. Instead, learn how to mind the gaps. The Missionary Care Team at Trinity Church in Redlands, CA has been developing a system of proactive care for their missionary families since 2008. Trinity's Mission Pastor, David J. Wilson, DMin, received his Master of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and his doctorate from Campbell University. He has been serving as a mission pastor in the local church since 1996. Book jacket.

Book Description

The eighteenth century was a time of remarkable missionary activity. As the British Empire expanded around the world, Christian missionaries followed in the wake of merchants and explorers to bring the gospel to places where Christ had never before been named. At the heart of this global missionary movement was William Carey. From humble beginnings in England, Carey journeyed halfway around the world to preach the gospel on the Indian subcontinent. Known as the founder of modern missions, Carey is often portrayed as a solitary trailblazer and pioneer. But that isn't the full story. In The Missionary Fellowship of William Carey, Dr. Michael Haykin explores Carey's life and introduces us to the band of brothers who labored with him to spread the gospel on a global scale. As we follow their stories, we discover how God uses Christian friendship to advance His kingdom, and we're encouraged to nurture Christ-honoring friendships in our own lives. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.
