Publisher's Description

The changing face of world missions presents unique challenges. A new generation must both engage in God's mission and continue to reflect on the human dimension of engagement in the glorious task of making Christ known to the nations. Christianity is a universal religion not bound by one cultural expression of it. No cultural way of life or its Christian expression should be absolutized. Missionaries will be confronted with undreamed of challenges to their own worldview assumptions and must learn to distinguish between convictions rooted in Scripture and culture-informed convictions that should not be elevated to the level of scriptural truth. Without crosscultural training missionaries may unconsciously confound their cultural expression of Christianity with supracultural truth. They need to reflect biblically, theologically, and missiologically on whatever issues they face, and they need the conviction that God is at work in his world to accomplish his purposes and bring all things to his desired end. This book represents areas of personal reflection after over forty years of church planting ministry in different countries. The challenges of others may be different. The mission remains the same.

Author/Artist Review

Author: Stephen Davis
Submitted: July 09, 2023

    Tell us a little about yourself.  In ministry for over 40 years in Philadelphia, France, and Romania.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  To help present and prospective cross-cultural workers navigate and evaluate cultural and theological challenges to gospel ministry.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  I hope the book will help others better understand the kinds of issues that arise when living and ministering in other cultures.

    How were you personally impacted by working on this project?  I look back at 40 years of ministry, language learning, and adapting to life in other countries and am amazed at God's faithfulness.
