In six sections, the authors explore topics such as the links between STM and older patterns of long-term missions; engagement with people of other cultures; international partnerships; specialized ministries such as medical missions; legal and financial liabilities and, finally, the impact of STM on participants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of \u003cem\u003eEffective Engagement in Short-term Missions\u003c\/em\u003e is to improve the ways in which STM is carried out and to develop the understandings needed on the part of all who engage in the ministry. In short, this book attempts to provide a knowledge base for those who provide leadership within the STM movement. Among the authors are anthropologists, sociologists, missiologists, and representatives of various other fields, such as education, law, business, and medicine. Six authors are women. Two are Chinese, one Korean, and one Peruvian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors in this book consistently adopt an approach which is positive and constructive. While there are criticisms in the book, these criticisms are not directed against STM per se, but against particular ways of doing STM. Youth pastors, mission pastors, lay leaders, college and seminary students, and missiologists will all find information that is helpful and relevant to their concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.emsweb.org\/about\/who-is-ems\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEvangelical Missiological Society\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (EMS)- Book 16\u003c\/span\u003e [\/DESCRIPTION] [SUBTITLE]Doing It Right![\/SUBTITLE][CREDIT] Robert J.

The chapters draw insights from 14 majority world mission scholars and 10 Westerners with extensive experience in missions, providing a comprehensive view of the changing landscape of global missions.

While personal morality is certainly a concern, the scope of ethical engagement in evangelical mission extends far beyond the avoidance of compromising sexual situations and financial impropriety.

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.

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.
