In the early 1960s Malcolm and his wife, Jean, arrived in Ethiopia with only their professional skills—medicine and engineering—and a desire to show God’s love to those in need.

A ministry to nomads wherever they exist was not one of SIM’s primary goals. I personally appreciate the liberty that SIM gives to members to follow the special calling that the Lord imparts to individual missionaries. I am impressed by what the Lord has done through these two servants as they pursued their vision and calling. The Hunters have always been on the “cutting edge” of mission activity.

It was his nurse\/wife Jean who took him first to East Africa in 1963. It was in Eritrea that he first saw several people groups who did not cultivate land but lived off their animals, meaning they had to move frequently to find grazing and water for them. He realized these would probably be the last to hear the Christian gospel as most missionaries do not like to keep moving.He and Jean built a modified Land Rover in England and drove it across the Sahara desert with a folding tent on top and a kitchen and food supplies in the back door.He eventually established an organization named the Nomadic Peoples Network that seeks to encourage existing missionaries to think nomadic and live appropriately. They have met together every three years since 1990, mostly in countries where nomads are found, to learn from each other’s experience as there is no college course or curriculum which can teach such a lifestyle and contextualized ministry. The NPN also seeks to recruit new nomadic missionaries,most recently through mobile training riding on a truck across Central Asia where many nomads are found who have never rejected Jesus as they have never heard of Him.

This is a book written by someone with a vast and deep experience in multicultural ministries and leadership, with a unique ability to discern the greatest needs in Christian leadership today. Todd has led, trained, coached, and personally interacted with senior and emerging leaders from all parts of the world for over four decades. Throughout his life, he has been a leader who actively listens, reflects, and deeply treasures the lessons of a lifetime of ministry.

Todd's teachings gathered throughout his years of service and interaction with leaders of all ages and nationalities, along with the biblical and counter-cultural perspective contained in Learning to Lead at the Feet of Jesus, have revolutionized my life and profoundly transformed the way I lead.

It’s a wonderful thing when leaders believe and inspire you long before you believe in yourself. I have known Todd for forty years, as he and Karla served as Wycliffe missionaries on behalf of our church. Like the generation of leaders before us, he exemplifies everything he has written in this book. I have never met a man more unassuming, welcoming, and human than Todd. Todd reminds me of Eugene Peterson in message and presence. Though he is a first-rate scholar, you’d never know it: when you first meet him, his humility and gentleness disarm you, making you utterly attentive to anything he has to say. Such leaders do not seek to impress, intimidate, or coerce. They ask questions and listen, gently uncovering the hidden motives and longings beneath our words.

We have learned a lot from Todd as we have discussed biblical leadership. Insights from those discussions have made their way into our leadership practice and leadership training. This book, engaging deeply with the life and teachings of Jesus, will enable leaders to further integrate their faith with their leadership. A leader must never stop sitting at the feet of Jesus, gaining insights, and putting them into practice.

Perhaps a child has a life-threatening illness. Your spouse loses a job, and you don’t know how bills will get paid. We wonder whether tough times indicate that God is not pleased with us. To regain assurance and peace, we try harder to please God and attain blessings. We can too easily fall into a karmic-like cycle of good works, relying on our own power to break the cycle of fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKarmic Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, E. D. Burns explains why the antidote to fear is not power but rather peace— God’s peace. The peace of Christ sets us free from anxiety arising from hardships and our inability to control our situations. Lasting peace is not grounded in subjective experience. Instead, Christ secures it for us by his death and resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we’re honest, we know that our best is never good enough. We are frequently powerlessness to change our circumstances. Burns shows why the solution is not working harder, being better, or just giving up. Readers learn why we don't need to be exhausted. Instead, we can rest in God’s refuge, trusting that his love for us is perfect in Christ.  \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Karmic-Christianity-Finding-Peace-Faith\/dp\/B0FBT2CCFS\/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;dib_tag=se\u0026amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PBZ5uR_eIwkv0kqbztnybqL8_3blCFKfq9-tbMg3ZHYvs-knWppCbRkRTEVgMItUGY8FRVkku-tslyOJJB0MPWF0rinhYaIkBQm0djQTJeVE4zeEnRjAefidYbss2pJ5EjQIKghVo5MDVSpM5nQwjH4Lvzk5bnYl4XdywBWDXjVPgrOpDPW-I5QZNN2PWNgznrZLsAFApZ6N8FKcPk9zKe35tWVlK0ICwpaK2cCbB-g.nrh59QltWkC_1CRNjj98W0z_0ll_n2jqfzNABJsDxN8\u0026amp;qid=1749149873\u0026amp;sr=8-1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eNow Available in Thai!\u003c\/span\u003e  Click \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gracebannasan.com\/th\/product-page\/karmic-christianity-2\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mQyYHH8Vd04\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e [\/DESCRIPTION][SUBTITLE]Finding Peace by Faith Alone[\/SUBTITLE][CREDIT] E.

Rest in the Redeemer. Confidently trusting the Lord Jesus. Serving the Lord with joy. Option 2: “Treadmill” living. Running back to Mt. Sinai. Cringing obedience. Doubting introspection. E. D. Burns proclaims Option 1 as the right response to the work of the Great High Priest, and he also zeroes in on the biblical view of the love of God. Such love, Burns argues, from the Triune God, motivates grateful and godly living. Duplex Gratia, or the “double grace” of Jesus Christ, namely “Christ FOR us” and “Christ IN us,” permeate Burns’s pen, resulting in a book that compels the reader to keep reading.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMike Abendroth\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePastor, Bethlehem Bible Church, West Boylston, MAHost, No Compromise Radio\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis is a book that quite literally belongs in the hands of all believers. Every Christian has either encountered this way of thinking in others, or even more likely, been plagued themselves with such thoughts of a quid-pro-quo relationship with God. Dr. Burns brings a stout assurance to believers of a right relationship with God, by stripping away the infection of “karmic Christianity” and the prosperity gospel, in turn, pointing us all to the singular hope that is found by faith alone in Christ alone. Like a bright afternoon sun, it burns away the fog of fear, bondage, and groveling servitude.

At no point in ones Christian life do they reach a place, status, role, or ministry that will allow them to dislocate themselves from this vital connection to Christ. He clarified that apart from him, we can do nothing. Our union with Christ is our life-source, our greatest privilege, and our joy-producing reality. All ministry that would bear lasting fruit must be grounded in this. Dr. Burns, from years of experience serving in missions and ministry, writes with a passion to remind Great Commission-minded people that their source of hope and fruitfulness is not tethered to their enthusiasm, boldness, or novelty. Rather, it is born of vital union with Christ.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eHis book, \u003cem\u003eGreat Commission Spirituality\u003c\/em\u003e, serves as a grounding reminder of the privilege that it is to draw our life from the one whose name we intend to proclaim to the ends of the earth.

Burns has not only imbibed the best of that literature but has added to it. \u003cem\u003eGreat Commission Spirituality\u003c\/em\u003e is not a book that readers will finish and set aside.

So often, those efforts appear spiritual, but in the end, they leave us feeling more discouraged and exhausted. In this book, Burns aims to alleviate this burdened way of living by pointing us to the rest and freedom we have through our union with Christ. By mining the writings of missionary giants who have gone before us, Burns demonstrates how their fruitfulness and joyful service was rooted in the doctrine of the “great exchange.” If you have ever felt burdened or ineffective in your labors for the Great Commission, as I have, then this book will be a balm for your soul.

The war account is true to reality and very similar to what I experienced. In fact, it brought back many memories, as well as praises to God for evacuating me out of the battle zone and back to safety and medical attention. The helicopter coming to take you back to base when you are wounded has such a special sound. The battle describing the spiritual world is just as captivating and dangerous. Being carried to safety is not done by a helicopter but on the wings of prayer. This book challenges you to a higher level of dedication and service. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJesse Stout\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSP4 11 B 20 Co.

The stories allow us to peer into the real lives of God's chosen laborers in various fields of the world. More than anything, it allows us to see the magnificence, sufficiency, and sovereignty of the God who calls ordinary people to do \"greater things.”  \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eBill Gibbs \u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlobal Mission Pastor, Abundant Life Church\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT6] [ENDORSEMENT7]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWhen I was a child, missionaries were among my heroes. They were frequent guests not only in our church but also in our home. Around our dinner table I listened to stories of God’s work in places I could scarcely imagine. Those missionaries helped shape my understanding of faith, obedience, and God’s heart for the nations.The stories in this collection remind us that God continues to call ordinary people to extraordinary service. Through challenges, sacrifices, and moments of unexpected grace, these missionaries bear witness to God’s faithfulness across cultures and generations. My prayer is that these accounts will encourage readers to trust God more fully and follow God more boldly. I especially hope they will inspire young people to consider how God might use their gifts, passions, and lives in the Kingdom mission to reach the nations with the love of Christ.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eLora Hobbs, MA, MEd\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSenior Instructor, Department of Religious Studies, Missouri State University\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT7][TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Stories of God’s Protection \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
