I could not stop reading.  The individual stories point to the big story of God’s mission pulsing in the southern hemispheres between India and the Philippines and the Arabian Gulf region, between oil-rich nations and poor lands. Until now, few Westerners have noticed. Thank you, Miriam Adeney and Sadiri Joy Tira, for opening our eyes and our hearts.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eCatherine B.

To marginalized women Christ still offers living water, especially guest workers from the Philippines, Africa, and India.

If today our neighbors are global—as shown by the labels in the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the components in our electronics—then hardly anything is more important than missions. It is through missions that we live out God’s love for our global neighbors. This book distills the wisdom of a lifetime in missions. It is biblical, showing how Moses, David, Isaiah, and Paul explored God’s love for the nations. It is theological, because without theology faith will be flat, superficial, and soon skewed and bent. It is the grassroots mission of dusty feet and sweaty students, tears and abrazos and roars of laughter. It is stewardly mission that recognizes better and worse ways to do the work, and critiques strategies so as to find the best.

In a world population that was virtually exploding with growth, how could Christians begin to reach the billions of fellow humans? Then missionaries began mastering the multiplied languages on earth, placing the Bible on paper, making recordings of the gospel, and beaming the Word of God out on radio and television waves. A portion of the Bible was translated painstakingly into over a thousand languages. The entire Bible was translated into several hundred. There was reason to be hopeful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMissionaries taught nationals how to plant churches. Then nationals started planting churches, and churches begat churches . . .

It highlights a simple, yet profound truth: understanding God’s Word is key to knowing Him.

I remember two Bible translators working with the Uduk tribe in the Sudan telling me how hard it was to translate Jesus’ words “let not your heart be troubled” since the Uduk language did not have a specific word for “heart” or “trouble.” Their final translation of those words was as follows: “Don’t have a shiver in your liver.” This humorous example underlines the extremely difficult task of accurate Bible translation.

You will be thrilled, encouraged, yes, and even shocked to see what occurs when ordinary men and women engage in this extraordinary task. Fortosis has surveyed this world-wide task showing us the literary, linguistic, and theological complexities of trying to accomplish this task accurately and dynamically. Translators must find the right words in the receptor language for words and concepts such as God, Holy Spirit, baptism, salvation, forgiveness, love, faith, and hope. Fortosis shows that occasionally these well-intentioned translators inadvertently present to the hearers a foreign Jesus or a religion that horrifies the people. This task, translators discover, is not clean and simple, but rather messy and complex. The translators must incarnate themselves in the language and culture of the people. Otherwise the translations may distort the message, confuse the people, and lead to heterodox rather than orthodox views of God.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eHarold E.

We are encouraged to reflect and develop a missional understanding of church that appreciates the roles of the church in the global West and global South, recognizing that the Christian church is the most diverse and inclusive community on earth. The contributors challenge us not to think of “church and mission” as if they were two separate aspects of church but rather the “church in Mission.” Its rootedness in Scripture and reflections of “missions praxis” around the world is enriching, and encourages local church leaders to see “mission” as the work and responsibility of each church member wherever they may find themselves.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eEsme Bowers\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eminister of religion at Calvary Sanctuary Full Gospel Church and secretary of the board of directors of the Lausanne Movement\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT1] [ENDORSEMENT2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis book is a feast for anyone who is passionately mission minded. With the biblical and theological foundations for missions by the church, the contemporary missiological issues and the case studies on the church in mission, this book is a delight. It addresses the key themes and issues for a strong reflection on the church and mission. Another thing I like about this book is that it is really global in its scope: geographically-wise, gender-wise and generation-wise. All the contributors are not only great commission global leaders, but also passionate and reflective practitioners. Do you want to deepen your ecclesiological and missiological reflections? This a very good place to be. Any reflective practitioner on mission by the church will like this book. It is a must read for any church and missional leader. I am expecting to see it become a book of reference in the mission world.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eYounoussa Djao\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfrica director, Cityteam International\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eIt is a joy for me to welcome once again a publication from the WEA Mission Commission. Like previous publications, this is a valuable collection of evangelical reflection on practice. Authors come from a rich variety of situations and in some cases from decades of missionary experience in five continents. They engage in theological dialogue with both classic and contemporary theologians, and they also offer us fresh approaches to the understanding of Scripture with questions forged in missionary practice in places as diverse as Brazil, Singapore, Poland, or the USA. This book is evidence that evangelical missionary commitment continues to be alive around the world, but also that practitioners are engaged in a critical reflection about their practice.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDr. Samuel Escobar\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprofessor emeritus of missiology, Palmer Theological Seminary, presently teaching in the Facultad Protestante de Teología UEBE, Madrid, Spain\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT3] [ENDORSEMENT4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eChurch in Mission: Foundations and Global Case Studies offers readers an impressive collage of international perspectives on key missiological issues.

Although here applied to the very specific question of sacramental and eucharistic practice, the implications and applications of Allen’s vision are extensive for all committed to participating in the work of the Spirit to and from the ends of the earth. While always respecting the role of the institutional dimensions of the church, Allen here prompts us to wrestle again and again with apostolic life in the Spirit as normative for engaging the ongoing missio Dei, however difficult such may be to discern at times.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eAmos Yong, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprofessor of theology and mission Fuller Seminary author of The Missiological Spirit (2014) and Spirit of Love (2012)\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT1] [ENDORSEMENT2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWCL, J.D. Payne, and the contributors are to be congratulated on the release of this previously unpublished work by Roland Allen. We hear much today about the importance of empowering and mobilizing ordinary Christians for the cause of multiplying and growing healthy churches. This little book demonstrates how Roland Allen on this important principle—particularly as it relates to celebration of the Lord’s Supper—was once again ahead of his time.

New treasures await you. J. D. Payne has done us a great service by bringing to light a previously unpublished manuscript by Allen. Readers of Allen will feel that they are sitting down with an old friend to revisit some common themes from slightly different angles (and new anecdotes). Payne himself has written a helpful introductory chapter and lined up other scholars (Hubert Allen, Robert Schmidt, Steven Rutt, Robert Banks) to provide essays related to Roland Allen’s thought or life.

McGavran often spoke and wrote about how much Roland Allen had influenced his own missiology. McGavran required his students to read Allen’s books and revived interest in Allen’s approach to missions strategy. J. D. Payne and his collaborators have performed a similar service for a new generation of evangelicals. In this volume they have provided missiologists, missionaries, and missions students with a long unpublished Allen manuscript. The manuscript revisits common themes in Allen’s writings: the role of the Holy Spirit in missions, the spontaneous growth of new churches, and the importance of lay ministry. The essays by Allen scholars enhance the value of the book, and the chapter by Hubert Allen, Roland’s grandson, is most welcome.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJohn Mark Terry, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprofessor of missions Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT4] [TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTRIBUTORS\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART I- Background\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eROLAND ALLEN: MISSIOLOGY AND THE MINISTRY OF EXPANSION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJ.

Are they Muslims or Christians? Does that matter? The topic of insider movements is controversial within the church. The debate rages on, opinions differ widely, and convictions often are defended aggressively. The set of voices sorely missing from this hot debate has been that of the insiders themselves. This book finally breaks that silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenk Prenger researched the views of 26 Muslim insider Christ followers who are leaders in their movements. You will be surprised by their insights. Prenger presents their views on 21 theology-proper topics such as God, man, the gospel, sin, Satan, the cross, heaven and hell, the Bible, and our mandate.

These deal with such topics as views of God and Jesus, varied relationships with traditional churches, development of biblical understanding over time, and suffering from Muslims and traditional Christians. The author finds them generally more orthodox than commonly portrayed. It certainly moves the discussion forward.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJ.

The uniqueness is not only found in the fact that he has interviewed both “alongsiders” as well as “insiders” but that he has investigated the theological convictions and presuppositions that underlie their praxis in mission. This, in turn, is also why his work is so important: his findings challenge a good deal of the presuppositions about so-called insider movements and their theological underpinnings. I hope many will read this crucial work, and I pray that these results may in part serve to reframe how discussion and debate concerning insider movements takes place in the future.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eKevin Higgins\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInternational Director, Global Teams International\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWe are greatly in debt to Henk Prenger both for what he studied and how he did it. His research topic is one many have wondered about: what actually is the missiology and theology of Muslims who follow Jesus? Through meticulously researching the views of 26 leaders of insider movements in seven parts of the world, he has gone a long way in helping us answer these questions. How he carried out this massive research project is also noteworthy. A long-term field person himself, Henk established trust with both alongsiders and insiders, assuring them that their stories would be told, but in ways that guarded anonymity and safety for them and the movements. Without such trusted relationships and safe protocols, research of this nature could put people in harm’s way. This is truly a landmark study; no other field research on the convictions of insider movement leaders has gone to this level of depth, detail, and analysis.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJohn J.

Such theologies are helpful as signs of deeply inspired Christian concerns about making sense of Islam, but a genuine theology of Islam that promises to move beyond the traditional Islamic positions can only emerge from among the “insiders.” Henk Prenger’s work demonstrates that this is not merely wishful; Islam and Muslims are not static entities and Islamic dynamism is not necessarily oppositional. Insider movements furnish one with a solid evidence of a vibrantly natural re-conception of Islam from within; the insiders’ radical experiences are already coalescing into emerging theologies that remain as yet truly uncontrived. This work underlines the sadly forgotten traditions of Christian thought which saw Muslims and Islam in genuinely relational terms. They saw Islam as a context for the operation of “the spirit of Jesus” and Muslims as kinsfolks worthy of love, hospitality, and sacrificial substitution.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDavid Singh\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResearch Tutor in Islamic studies, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT6] [ENDORSEMENT7]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThis book contributes an important voice to an ongoing controversy in Western mission communities with regard to the emergence of so-called insider movements.

Our cultural ways as Latinos or Westerners are sometimes obtrusive of how God sometimes deals in His way with them. We need to be open to the manifold wisdom of God manifested in the East.

The portraits include both a composite “generic” Chinese student reflecting the Chinese contexts, and seven real Chinese student stories. This gift is equally valuable for host-country friends of the Chinese academic community who wish to help with reentry preparation.

By painting the historical and cultural contexts that the students are coming from and returning to, readers have a Fuller appreciation of the specific chal¬lenges Chinese returnees face.

The thirty-three contributors come from five continents, and a host of contexts. Some are veterans, some quite young, but every one of them is passionate about God’s mission, and about building bridges for the gospel in a way that is absolutely faithful to Scripture but also sensitive to specific contexts. North and South, East and West, demonstrate precious unity in Christ in our common calling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContextualization is complex, and none of the authors claim to have got everything right. But their essays are thoughtful, and written out of love for God and love for his world. They tell the stories of trial and error, of struggles and triumphs, as each seeks to present Christ in terms that make sense and can be understood. It is following the process, quite as much as specific conclusions, which make this book valuable and transferable to many other parts of the global church. The essays also give us a peep into many different societies, and the birthing of faith in the grace of the Holy Spirit. Thus we give thanks to God for all that he is wonderfully doing around his world and stimulate our prayers for those who work cross-culturally, especially in pioneer situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot all contributors agree on every point, especially when it comes to the difficulties of mission in the Muslim world (and increasingly, amongst Hindus). There has been no attempt to standardize different approaches, letting a robust conversation develop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter ends with some suggested study questions, useful for personal reflection or group or class discussion. The book is deliberately accessible to lay people, but stimulating to career missionaries and academics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe pray that it may serve the purposes of God, for his glory.   This book was published in partnership with the World Evangelical Alliance.

I found this book on contextualization so riveting because it deals with the core issues of communicating the gospel in credible ways that do not detract from its essence and yet help the recipients to understand God's truth.  Every church leader and every leader of a Christian organization should read this book, as it will greatly aid their understanding and communication of the gospel.
