I find the book as a great teaching tool with good research and easy-to-follow ideas that can be adapted to any curriculum. I also see it as essential material to teach any communicator, preacher, or missionary in the church.  There are some startling revelations in the book about biblical history and culture, which help any communicator add to the quality of their message. So once again, if you are looking for a book that can equip you in communicating, especially cross-culturally, this is a helpful tool.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003ePastor Ian John Batley\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBA Adult Ed.; MA Clinical Pastoral Education\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT1] [ENDORSEMENT2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eHarry Box has been a pioneer in the field of communicating the Christian message to those we now refer to as oral communicators. I first encountered his work in the year 2000 soon after taking over as Australian CEO of Global Recordings Network (then Language Recordings Inc and formerly, Gospel Recordings.) Reading his unpublished Doctoral Thesis on “Communicating Christianity to Oral Event Oriented People” written in 1992 challenged and changed my whole approach to communication – especially 'Gospel' communication. Harry's careful research and excellent case studies convinced me that generally as Westerners we had failed to adequately understand the communication preferences of much of the world's population. Today as we continue to grow in our understanding of learning and communication styles and recognised that even many highly literate people are still by preference oral learners, Harry's work is as important as ever. I am delighted to see the fruit of Harry's work now made available in “Don't throw the book at them.” It is, in my opinion, a must read for all who are committed to effective Gospel Communication in our culturally diverse world.

Harry Box (MBI graduate of 1962) has written what may well prove a strategy-changing message for evangelical missionary societies. As you read these words now, pause and thank God for that ability. For you and I are part of the one third of the adult world who are literate. Yet 65-70% of men and women around the world are still unable to pick up written material with even basic levels of comprehension. This is an ordered, logical book arguing that oral communication was Jesus’ primary method of communicating with His disciples. Jesus communicated in Aramaic, which was off limits for translating the Old Testament. Jesus spoke in poetic forms which could be more easily memorized by his listeners. Harry’s thesis is commended by Bible societies and by Wycliffe Bible Translators. For mission leaders, young and older thinkers, and missiology strategists, this book is a must.

He uses “strength” and “weakness” equally in the text (30x) as he searches for both good kingdom yeast and unbiblical Islamic yeast. Aware that he cannot “settle the intractable debate and controversy,” he resists the temptation to pronouncing whether insider churches are legitimate Biblical churches.

As such, while we will continue to differ on important topics, the book models a truly crucial approach, much needed in this hour of history: a better way to seek understanding before seeking to be understood.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eKevin Higgins \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeneral Director, Frontier Ventures President, William Carey International University Long-term worker in South Asia \u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT5] [ENDORSEMENT6]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eIn this well-crafted and considered book, S.

Antonio is at once generous and principled, eager to learn from insider advocates and think creatively about the nature of the church, while remaining steadfast in his commitment to a biblical vision of the church, even in sensitive and insecure contexts.

Antonio clearly examines beliefs about the nature of the church held by many advocates of the insider paradigm (that are sometimes implicit and unexamined), and then offers a gentle but compelling series of biblical and missiological critiques.

These often unrecognized leaders mostly lead small groups at the growing edges of the church. They are ordinary people who faithfully share Christ amid the demands of daily life. Another focus of the book is shaping the character of developers as they humbly walk beside leaders in the leaders’ community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors use the four C’s of Christian leadership—Community, Character, Clarity, and Care—to weave together research, experience, and practical application to show how these characteristics are expressed across different cultures. The book then discusses five principles, illustrated in common settings, for an intentional process that develops leaders and their communities collectively.

This can be an exciting adventure, but also hard work! Through his book, Jonathan leads us to reflect on the importance of languages used in church. He encourages us to see that a vision for a multilingual church is founded in biblical principles. He recognizes the challenges this presents and takes his reader on a journey through different options a church might use, the pros and cons, and questions to reflect on. Jonathan writes in an engaging and accessible way, helping us to see how we might ensure our churches reflect our local communities in the fullest sense, in a way that honors God and all his people.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eEmma Billington\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead of National Development, Welcome Churches\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eJonathan Downie has written an honest easy-to-read guide for churches and Christian communities who desire to become a place of belonging, where people of all backgrounds feel welcome. Jonathan acknowledges that every church has different challenges to becoming multilingual and rather than being prescriptive, he provides research-based tools and suggestions. I appreciate that Jonathan’s approach is not just to church leadership but to individuals wanting to apply this approach in their everyday life.

It is a well-founded theological and biblical workbook for all of us serving in multicultural, multilingual contexts. As Jonathan so eloquently explains in this book, a multilingual church is more than a strategy to reach other people, it is a revelation, a vision from God. If the ultimate goal is to bring every nation, culture, and language in unity in front of the eternal throne of grace, shouldn’t we make every effort today to bring multiple cultures and languages together to worship God? Downie’s book answers this question by affirming that multicultural church necessarily needs to reflect the multilingual reality of its people. The clear vision, thorough analysis, and clear step-by-step approach Jonathan adopts in this book are a great help for every pastor and church leadership team who wants to become an inclusive multilingual church.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eFurthermore this book is a great tool for church planters in North America and Europe where a diversity of languages and cultures are intermingling in our cities and nations.

It is an awesome responsibility. The author narrated the wonderfully impossible “journey” of the Bible in China from various possible angles with concern for historical objectivity so that the “silent hand” of the Lord in the journey would not be mistaken. As Scripture says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever ... so shall my word be that goes from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Isa 40:8; 55:11).\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eBishop John Chew \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArchbishop, Province of the Anglican Church in South East Asia (2006–2012) \u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis book by Cynthia Oh brings together a decade of personal experience in Bible missions in China, access to key archival material, and a passion to write mission history to produce a ground-breaking record of how the Bible grew from being a banned book into the best-selling book in China in the course of a few decades since the 1960s. In particular, the book traces the history of the Bible press (Amity Printing) in China that has produced millions of Bibles. In addition, readers will appreciate how the Bible has made inroads in various ways, through the promotion of Bible reading and application, into churches, society, and the lives of families and individuals. The personal stories gleaned from the ground offer a fuller picture of the effects of making the Bible available to a vast diversity of people who have been blessed by the Word of God that is able to bring about healing and transformation.

The last batch of the Bible was published in 1956 and had hitherto not been published in China again till 1979 when the government facilitated the Official Church to print a few thousand Bibles and New Testaments using the printing press of the People's Liberation Army. Coming from this humble publication background, no one could ever dream that a few decades later China becomes the largest Bible producing country in the world. It is under this context that Cynthia Oh has written this amazing story of the Bible in China - from a banned book into a bestseller taking place in an atheistic country. She has the privilege to be a staff member of the United Bible Society who was directly involved with and witnessed the Bible printing operation in China. Her story is nothing less than a miracle that has unfolded in our time, a story that is part of the matrix of God's might in our contemporary era. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eRev.

Leveraging insights from those in the Majority World, over sixty authors reexamine our understand­ing of people group missiology from the lens of Scripture, reflection, conversation, prayer, and case studies from field workers and church\/mission leaders. Readers are equipped with the tools to navigate and overcome the barriers hindering effective mission work among UPGs and envision innovative approaches.

Millions and millions of lost people are a reality all around me. My passion has been to see God’s people work in unity to reach them, “so that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:21). We need to plan, strategize, and pray together about how best to finish the Great Commission. So it is thrilling to see the global collaboration involved in the production of People Vision! I strongly believe that this book is both a major resource as well as an urgent invitation to all key players and leaders at every level in the church. People Vision is a call to rethink approaches and to explore imaginative and fruitful ways to collaborate in mission. I recommend that everyone who is interested in missions—indeed, every believer!—should get a copy of this book and catch the vision presented in it.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eEdwin Caruana\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVision 5:9 Operations TeamFacilitator for North Africa and Middle East Partnerships, Malta\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eHere it is! Practical missiology and research we can effectively use. As a former missionary, global organizational leader, and now a local church mission leader, these writers are trusted practitioners, researchers, and academic leaders you can rely on. Whether you are serving locally, globally or both, this will help. Urban or rural, developed or developing communities, complex cultural issues, oral peoples, evangelism, disciple-making movements, compassion and justice, or all the above, least reached peoples must be on your radar screen. Most mission initiatives demand focus and good intel to experience lasting fruit, reproducing disciples, community impact, and great commission acceleration. This is a valuable resource as you “focus” on or “add” a least reached peoples initiative utilizing good missiology, updated research, and better practices.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMike Constantz\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePastor, The PEACE PlanSaddleback Church\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWhat a timely, hope-filled call to the Church today to “reimagine” the “peoples” in our complex world who have yet to hear and experience Jesus. From the beginning pages of key biblical reminders of God’s heart for the lost, to a historical sweep of men, women, and groups from around the world moved and “compelled” to reach the unreached, the book gave me several more “lenses” through which to see, pray for and relationally engage with “peoples.” As a former field worker who labored in a Muslim mega-city for over twenty years, I greatly appreciated the challenge to reconsider and reconstruct my own missional efforts in light of today’s social, economic and structural realities that confront the missions enterprise today. We have a creative, imaginative, loving God who continues to call his people to believe in and give of themselves to his unchanging plan and future of a great multitude, from every nation, tribe, people and language standing before the throne of theLamb.

God's heart for them, their families and communities is shown from Genesis to Revelation. He not only promised “every family (ethne) of the earth will be blessed” but also that every tribe, tongue, and ethne will be represented before his throne.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eTimothy Lewis\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormer International Director, Frontiers\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT6] [ENDORSEMENT7]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWhen I learned that the leadership of the Lausanne Movement asked my colleague, one of my heroes actually, Len Bartlotti, to produce an update on missiological thinking, I mused, “What can be said that hasn't been?” Then, when I received the manuscript of People Vision, I was stunned. This is not a book—it’s a library!—from a professor of missiology who is also a seasoned field worker. It is available to us who are still in the smoke of the battle! This book is a call to a “come up higher” with direction to sit with those who have “laid down their lives” to wrestle with what it might take to actually fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord. This is not merely another book on world mission; it's a missiological collection of thinking and observing of the best of wrestling with the issues. After over my sixty years of daily wrestling with the question of “what will it take,” I urge all “make-it-happen” leaders and our younger aspirants to seriously examine what you've assumed.

I am confident that People Vision will prove to be of immense value as we celebrate the fifty-year milestone in global mission advance since Lausanne 1974 and renew our vision for the Father’s missions mandate through the heart of this twenty-first century. We in Pioneers are in the midst of reenvisioning and enlarging our vision for the unreached and asking God for fresh vision as we increase our efforts to engage with even more of the remaining thousands of unengaged peoples around the world. The rich resources collected together in People Vision will serve us very well at this critical juncture as we seek to strengthen our agency’s pioneering vision. I expect that People Vision will not only be used of God to help the global church reimagine what missions will look like in the next fifty years, but act as a catalyst to greatly increased mobilization, countless creative new endeavors, and fruitfulness in the God ordained task of discipling all of the hidden peoples of the earth to know, love and serve the Savior of whom they have not yet heard.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDon Little, DMin\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMissiologist-at-Large, PioneersDirector, Lilias Trotter Center\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT9] [TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigures and Tables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword I by Robert A.

Though Carol has a tremendous breadth and depth of knowledge and experience, which could easily and gladly inform her counsel to others, she instead magnifies the Word and points readers to the sufficiency of the Scriptures in all areas of \"life and righteousness.\" And she magnifies our Savior, the one for whom we have left all things so the nations might know him.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eTim Hood\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePresident, CEO, Shepherd’s Staff\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT4] [ENDORSEMENT5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWhether you’re new to the mission field or a seasoned missionary, Carol’s devotional will deeply resonate as you spend slow mornings with Jesus.

You’ll feel like she’s read your mind as she invites you to pray guttural prayers like I am not cut out for this life. Would God really call me to serve him only for me to make a fool of myself by trying to speak such a language? But then she swiftly ushers you into hope through a tangible injection of Truth. Carol is deeply biblical, and that’s what I love about this little book! Each day’s entry is bookended with Scripture and filled with more verses in the middle. You’ll move from raw conversation with a wise big sister to hearing directly from the Lord of heaven’s armies communicating with you, his beloved missionary servant, spurring you to keep running the race with endurance as he perfects your faith.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eNatalie (pseudonymn)\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFriend, colleague, global worker among Muslims for over thirty years\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT7] [ENDORSEMENT8]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eAs we prepare to go to the field, we believe we will be above any difficulties that will arise, but it doesn’t take long for the issues of others to become our reality as well.

We are directed to the Scriptures and not allowed to sweep the issues ‘under the carpet,’ but to really deal with them.

The authors take a fresh look at several issues happening in the world of missions and even stretch forward into what missions look like in the future! The book explores new ways of using old paradigms and considers emerging fields not fully explored missiologically, such as AI, gaming, and even outer space! What may seem “far out” in this book could very soon become everyday fare. This is the mission text for the next generation.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eGeoffrey Hartt, DIS\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExecutive Director, Hispanics for Christ\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eI strongly encourage you to look at world Christianity through the lens this volume provides. You will encounter leading contributors to missiological thought as they engage with topics as varied as hermeneutics, local and global applications, and AI. You will be challenged to view mission as de-centered from the Global North and to consider mission theory and practice through the lenses of global urbanization and intergenerational dynamics. The topics introduced are relevant to mission practitioners, mission mobilizers, and those who teach and study missiology. My endorsement goes beyond the discussions this compendium engages. Mission practice and theory require a creative mindset—an ability to engage with new frontiers we have not yet considered. Reading this book from that open, creative perspective will help us move beyond today’s new frontiers toward future challenges.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMark Hedinger, DIS\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExecutive Director, CultureBoundAdjunct Faculty, Western SeminaryCo-Coordinator, International Missionary Training Network\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eReady to explore the future of missions? The 2025 EMS Compendium, New Frontiers in Missiology, is a passport to the next seventy-five years. Its scope ranges from envisioning a truly global future for missiology to exploring the possibilities of outer space. The next frontier of mission may be space, as humans get ready to colonize the Moon and Mars. One contributor argues that the next wave of mission will be female-led, as women already are the largest segment of the Great Commission taskforce. This book offers insights on mobilizing GenZ missionaries and discipling diaspora communities in major urban centers. It also provides a powerful discussion of Islamic folk religion. Finally, a brilliant article by Anthony Casey challenges upcoming third- and fourth-generation missiologists to study urban anthropology and sociology to understand and disciple the multitudes of displaced people groups in the world’s largest cities. This compendium is a key go-to guide for anyone ready to reimagine mission as global, compassionate, and even cosmic. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMark Kreitzer, DMiss, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSenior Staff, Global Training NetworkRetired Professor, College of Theology, Grand Canyon University\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT4] [ENDORSEMENT5]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThe future is now.
