Innovation in World Mission
A Framework for Transformational Thinking about the Future of World Mission
by: Derek T. Seipp (Author)
Our world is changing: mass migrations, the emergence of mega-cities, globalization, travel, and ubiquitous connectivity. How do we make sense of it all?

Innovation in World Mission was written for those who care about being relevant in this chaotic, yet exciting new world. This book explores the categories of mega-changes happening around us, and the impacts they are making, specifically in world mission. It explores how God created us in his image, to be creative and innovative—modern day children of Issachar who understand change and know how to respond.

 Real-life examples from ministries, non-profits, and businesses are used throughout to help understand how to put these tools into practice.

  • Seipp, a seasoned practitioner, expertly wields the latest tools of future studies for mission strategy, convincingly demonstrating how clear thinking about the future unveils new and innovative ways for the mission-minded to reach the world.  Scenario planning, environmental planning, scanning, and creating impact maps should become standard approaches for Christians, North and South, implementing integral mission amoung the world's people, language, and cities.
