Book excerpt: In recent years, increasing numbers of people from Muslim backgrounds have become followers of Jesus. Some of these conversions have occurred in Cambodia. Based on a phenomenological approach, forty semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted of Cambodian believers in Christ from a Muslim Background (BMBs). This study analyzed the narratives and reflections of BMBs and focused on (1) examining the role of contextual adjustments made by cross-cultural workers and Cambodian BMBs to make the Christian message more understandable and compelling, (2) identifying core themes or factors that converts report as central in their own conversions, and (3) exploring and analyzing the ways in which the message itself was experienced as personally meaningful and appealing. The research discovered that the Christian message was contextualized in various ways, including the choice of language, the use of experience-near terms and concepts, and communication within the framework of understanding of the listener. Contextualized materials were developed and were used by both cross-cultural workers and BMBs in communicating the Christian message to others. Respondents reported several themes or factors as important to their decision to follow Jesus, with individuals typically revealing more than one theme as significant in their conversion. Four primary themes, repeatedly referred to, were identified: sin and cleansing, heaven and judgment, Jesus (delineated into Jesus is, Jesus did, and Jesus does), and the Bible. Four secondary themes were described: the witness of others, dreams, love, and the sense of God0́9s leading. Many respondents used language which described God and his message as being near and personal. The message itself was experienced as personally relevant and meaningful in three primary ways. First and foremost for the Cambodian respondents, the content of the message was meaningful. Second, God0́9s perceived actions were meaningful, and third, the method of communication was meaningful. This research suggests that the contextualization of the message did impact both its understandability, its relevance, and its desirability. In addition, the content of the religious message itself, including its explanation about self, the world, and implications for belief, was a primary factor impacting the decision to believe in and follow Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the oppression and terror of the killing fields in Cambodia, this is the story of how one man's conversion led to a rebirth of faith that brought hope to a nation. Commissioned by Communists to spy on a Christian evangelistic crusade, Barnabas Mam instead discovered Jesus and came to faith in Him. After spending four years in prison camps at the hands of the Khmer Rouge Barnabas emerged as one of only 200 surviving Christians in all of Cambodia. God raised him up to became the foremost evangelist and church planter in a land broken by genocide. An inspiring story on a personal, church, and national level, this is more than a narrative--it's a blueprint for success for church growth of the most powerful kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as Asia’s "evangelical superpower," South Korea today has some of the largest and most dynamic churches in the world and is second only to the United States in the number of missionaries it dispatches abroad. Understanding its evangelicalism is crucial to grasping the course of its modernization, the rise of nationalism and anticommunism, and the relationship between Christians and other religionists within the country. Born Again is the first book in a Western language to consider the introduction, development, and character of evangelicalism in Korea—from its humble beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century to claiming one out of every five South Koreans as an adherent at the end of the twentieth. In this thoughtful and thorough study, Timothy S. Lee argues that the phenomenal rise of this particular species of Christianity can be attributed to several factors. As a religion of salvation, evangelicalism appealed powerfully to multitudes of Koreans, arriving at a time when the country was engulfed in unprecedented crises that discredited established social structures and traditional attitudes. Evangelicalism attracted and empowered Koreans by offering them a more compelling worldview and a more meaningful basis for association. Another factor is evangelicalisms positive connection to Korean nationalism and South Korean anticommunism. It shared in the aspirations and hardships of Koreans during the Japanese occupation and was legitimated again during and after the Korean conflict as South Koreans experienced the trauma of the war. Equally important was evangelicals’ relentless proselytization efforts throughout the twentieth century. Lee explores the beliefs and practices that have become the hallmarks of Korean evangelicalism: kibok (this-worldly blessing), saebyok kido (daybreak prayer), and kumsik kido (fasting prayer). He concludes that Korean evangelicalism is distinguishable from other forms of evangelicalism by its intensely practical and devotional bent. He reveals how, after a long period of impressive expansion, including the mammoth campaigns of the 1970s and 1980s that drew millions to its revivals, the 1990s was a decade of ambiguity for the faith. On the one hand, it had become South Korea’s most influential religion, affecting politics, the economy, and civil society. On the other, it found itself beleaguered by a stalemate in growth, the shortcomings of its leaders, and conflicts with other religions. Evangelicalism had not only risen in South Korean society; it had also, for better or worse, become part of the establishment. Despite this significance, Korean evangelicalism has not received adequate treatment from scholars outside Korea. Born Again will therefore find an eager audience among English-speaking historians of modern Korea, scholars of comparative religion and world Christianity, and practitioners of the faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we look forward in mission and strive to develop strategies for reaching a rapidly changing world with the gospel, we must also look back. How were churches planted? Who were the missionaries? What were their strategies? What mistakes did they make? What innovative approaches did they take? What do these voices teach us for mission today? To look back and reflect is an exercise in humility. It means that we actually have something to learn from the past. It first means that we accurately understand the past--the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is an honest inquiry. When we've humbly engaged in the study of mission history, we realize that this is ultimately God's work and we get to participate in it. In this work, Josh Lovelace invites us to grasp the story of the Assemblies of God mission in Cambodia, which began in the late twentieth century. The decades of war and even genocide in the southeast Asian nation seemed to prompt a greater openness to the gospel message. Assemblies of God missionaries responded to the call and have faithfully served the peoples of Cambodia in evangelism, church planting, and other aspects of Christian mission over the past few decades. As we meet the growing church in Cambodia, let us learn from the Assemblies of God mission journey, and reflect on how we ought to move forward in twenty-first century mission. In the end, let us pause and give thanks to God for his faithfulness to bless all peoples (Gen 12:3). From the Foreword by --Edward L. Smither, PhD, Dean, College of Intercultural Studies, Columbia International University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book briefly recounts the history of the establishment and expansion of Christianity during the colonial and post-colonial eras. With the exception of the Philippines, Christianity has been a minor religion in much of Southeast Asia, albeit one whose followers have sometimes played key roles in developing education and social services. Although statistically small, evangelical Christian groups in particular are trying to increase membership and influence, which may have adverse reactions in the countries whose populations are adherents of other major world faiths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when Canadians were arguing about the merits of a new flag, the birth-control pill, and the growing hippie counterculture, the leaders of Canada's largest Protestant church were occupied with turning much of English-Canadian religious culture on its head. In After Evangelicalism, Kevin Flatt reveals how the United Church of Canada abruptly reinvented its public image by cutting the remaining ties to its evangelical past. Flatt argues that although United Church leaders had already abandoned evangelical beliefs three decades earlier, it was only in the 1960s that rapid cultural shifts prompted the sudden dismantling of the church's evangelical programs and identity. Delving deep into the United Church's archives, Flatt uncovers behind-the-scenes developments that led to revolutionary and controversial changes in the church's evangelistic campaigns, educational programs, moral stances, and theological image. Not only did these changes evict evangelicalism from the United Church, but they helped trigger the denomination's ongoing numerical decline and decisively changed Canada's religious landscape. Challenging readers to see the Canadian religious crisis of the 1960s as involving more than just Quebec's Quiet Revolution, After Evangelicalism unveils the transformation of one of Canada's most prominent social institutions.

Download or read book For the Love of God written by Jerry M. Ireland and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compassionate missions constitutes a growing focus among evangelical denominations and agencies. Because of this, there exists a growing need to be guided by sound principles and best practices. This edited volume sets forth both the biblical foundations and preferred methods for churches wanting to engage in compassion as part of their missionary efforts. The aim throughout is that compassionate missions would be guided by indigenous principles that help establish autonomous local churches, capable of being salt and light in their communities. The contributors to this volume have over 200 years of missions experience. Through their first-hand knowledge of the challenges and pitfalls faced by missionaries engaging in compassion, these authors set forth foundational principles and practical guidelines related to some of the most pressing issues confronting missionaries today. These include HIV/AIDS, UPGs, human trafficking, orphans and vulnerable children, gender issues, and many more. Pastors, missionaries, missions boards, and educators will find this a valuable resource as the church in the twenty-first century continues to engage in the Great Commission.
