Missions Disrupted from Professional Missionaries to Missional Professionals by Larry Sharp

The vehicle in which our parents did missions is fading away as the next generation picks up the missions baton in a newer vehicle. Sharp notes that during the 1940s to 1960s it was relatively easy for missionaries to get visas to most countries. Now in the 21st century two thirds of the world is closed to missionary visas. Inside many of those are today’s unreached peoples. This doesn’t mean the world is closed, it means finding new methods and strategies to do mission. The Great Commission hasn’t changed. Click below to read further the book review of this interesting book on the future of missions by Dr Larry Sharp.

- Review by Ron Brown.

On Mission Vol. 8 just launched!

The ministry of Jesus demonstrates that God cares about transformation of people’s spiritual, emotional, cognitive and socio-economic conditions. A similar emphasis needs to remain central and comprehensive in the mission of the Church today. This calls for international workers to be more than pedlars of faith but become courageously creative, culturally contextual, and compassionately engaged in the nurture and development of communities of HOPE! This volume provides a sample of what is working and what did not work. It persuasively compels further Spirit-directed exploits by many more to vigorously expand God’s Kingdom.
