Mission Ministry

In our zeal to glorify God and be used by him, we have a tendency to rely on doing things for God. However, when God chose to use certain individuals in the Bible, it wasn’t because of their efforts or abilities. God was looking at their heart. God wants worshipers who work, not workers who worship. There is a vast difference between the two.

The primary mission of the church is to glorify God by blessing all peoples of the world through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission’s task of global disciple-making is the most ambitious project ever undertaken. Given the scale and complexity of global missions, it’s no wonder that misconceptions abound, even among invested, godly people.

One Bible. One Dream. One God. In 1961, a young couple boarded a ship to Vienna with nothing but faith, a suitcase, and an “impossible dream”—to bring the Word of God into the most spiritually restricted places on earth. What began with handwritten Scripture, smuggled Bibles, and hidden church meetings has become a sweeping movement of Gospel transformation across Eastern Europe and beyond. The Impossible Dream takes you deep into the heart of that mission, sharing firsthand accounts of courage, smuggling, sacrifice, and the miraculous power of Scripture.

Many Christians know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope.

Many amazing stories of international missions were written in the past. Stories that compelled us to follow God with great passion and faith have stirred our hearts over the decades. But is God still doing amazing things in missions today? Are there stories that still can challenge our hearts and stir our commitment to serving God in modern times? We answer a resounding yes! We witness heart-stirring, real-life drama that is our daily reality of God breaking the strongholds of darkness and opening doors of resistance to His amazing gospel message here in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.

The church is the origin, means, and end of missions. Scripture calls on missionaries to start and strengthen churches where new believers—and more missionaries—can grow. But today, many Christians downplay the role of the church in favor of pragmatism and parachurch ministries, weakening the mission's cause.

Ce livre peut révolutionner l’Eglise et contribuer à la guérison de toute forme de stérilité spirituelle. Dans ce livre, l’auteur fustige les égarements qui détournent le message évangélique. Il veut, à travers un rappel des vérités fondamentales, ramener le peuple de Dieu à une conquête révolutionnaire des âmes. Car, explique-t-il, l’évangélisation est le fait de présenter Jésus à une personne qui ne le connait pas, de manière à provoquer une véritable rencontre avec Jésus.

Across the church, there is a rift between theology and missions. Bad theology produces bad missions, and bad missions fuel bad theology. We wrongly think that we must choose between making a global impact and thinking deeply about the things of God. But the relationship between theology and missions is symbiotic—one cannot exist without the other. They walk hand in hand.

Unfortunately, the mission practices of most churches stand on weak foundations. Life on Mission gives gospel-centered, biblical, practical foundations for how missions was meant to be: an everyone-together effort. Life on Mission is a thorough yet simple guide for everyday missionaries - electricians, lawyers, church planters, students, etc. - that equips them with truths and practices for living out the gospel within their own community.

In the 1980s, Erika Bornman’s family join, and ultimately move to, KwaSizabantu, a Christian mission based in KwaZulu-Natal, which is touted as a nirvana, founded on egalitarian values. But something sinister lurks beneath ‘the place where people are helped’. Life at KwaSizabantu is hard. Christianity is used to justify harsh punishments, and congregants are forced to repent for their sins. Threats of physical violence ensure adherence to stringent rules. Parents are pitted against children. Friendships are discouraged.

Many people wonder, “Is Jesus Christ even real?” For 38 years, I wondered too! I called myself a Christian because I wore a cross, prayed to God and attended church regularly. Yet, I lied, gossiped, and judged others without mercy. I misrepresented my God with my behavior, attitude, and words. Such was my life. In my prayers, I asked God to use my life to glorify Him but was ill-prepared for the response. I was arrested and charged with a felony! In deep and dark despair, I turned to Jesus Christ for help. He was there to save me, as I sorrowfully repented for my past sinful behavior.
