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
Countering scholarly tendencies to fragment the text over theological difficulties, this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume contends that Exodus should be read as a unified whole, and that an appreciation of its missionary theme in its canonical context is of great help in dealing with the difficulties that the book poses.

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.

Book Description
Mission work is not for the faint of heart. We admire those brave souls who leave behind the comforts of home and go to foreign fields to bring the love of Christ to people in need. And sometimes it feels uninspiring to be stuck at home in the day-to-day of parenting when others are out there changing the world, soul by soul. Shontell Brewer has a message to renew the spirits of everyday moms: they too have a critical calling as the very first missionaries their children meet. In her informal, funny voice, Brewer points out the many unexpected parallels: A missionary may need to learn a foreign language and new customs to understand and communicate with those around her. A missionary has to follow the path God puts before her, sacrificing sleep, comfort, time, and toilets. Sound like any moms you know? Brewer tackles common challenges from mom-guilt to the temptation to be a martyr to those days when it feels like only a box of cookies and a Netflix binge can restore a sense of peace. But through it all, she shares the truth that there's more to parenting than potty training and orthodontist appointments. Mothers make the love of Christ tangible and understandable to their children. With determination and a few purposeful steps, moms can embrace their own mission field, leading their families--heart, soul, mind, and strength--to Christ.
