Book Synopsis Receptor-Oriented Communication for Hui Muslims in China by : Enoch Jinsik Kim
Download or read book Receptor-Oriented Communication for Hui Muslims in China written by Enoch Jinsik Kim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books that highlight the need and importance of mission toward unreached people. Unfortunately, few of them deal with the importance of understanding the real life of unreached people and how to analyze them. This book identifies conceptual issues for the development of receptor-oriented communication strategies among young, educated, urban Hui (YEU-Hui) Muslims in China's northwestern cities in order to achieve culturally relevant churches in those areas. It is written to help not only those who are interested in the unreached, but also those who are interested in Muslim evangelism, urban sociology, biblical exegesis, contextual church planting, communication, and mission strategy. Enoch Jinsik Kim utilizes a new approach--virtual community mission for planting offline churches--that integrates the use of local church-driven Internet community, traditional media, and offline task teams from a multi-ethnic local church. While the research focuses on the Chinese Muslim context, the identification of the young, urban, and educated as a strategic group for mission can be applied in other Muslim and non-Muslim contexts. This research is useful to cross-cultural communicators, church planters, and all those interested in interpersonal relationships.
Book Synopsis Church Planting Movements by : V. David Garrison
Download or read book Church Planting Movements written by V. David Garrison and published by WIGTake Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Garrison, PhD University of Chicago, defines Church Planting Movements as rapidly multiplying indigenous churches planting churches that sweep across a people group or population segment. Garrison's Church Planting Movements: How God Is Redeeming a Lost World signaled a breakthrough in missionary church planting. After the publication of Garrison's book in 2004 it became impossible to talk about missions without referencing Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements examines more than two-dozen movements of multiplying churches on five continents. After presenting these case studies, Garrison identifies ten universal elements present in each movement. He then broadens the circle of examination to identify a further ten common characteristics, factors identified in most, but not all, of the movements. He concludes his examination with a list of "Seven Deadly Sins," i.e. harmful practices that stifle or impede Church Planting Movements. Important for evangelical readers, the author returns to his findings to see how they stand up to the light of Scripture. What he discovers is that Church Planting Movements are much more consistent with the New Testament lay-led house-church movements that swept rapidly through the Mediterranean world in the face of hostile opposition than today's more sedentary professional institutionalized Christianity.

Book Synopsis You've Got Libya by : Greg Livingstone
Download or read book You've Got Libya written by Greg Livingstone and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greg Livingstone has spent a lifetime planting churches in Muslim communities and can testify to the life-changing power of the gospel in even the most unpromising circumstances. This is his autobiography. Unwanted at birth and born out of wedlock no-one would have considered that Greg Livingstone would become a pioneer in missions to unreached Muslim peoples. And You’ve Got Libya charts his journey and his adventures. This first hand narrative is full of compelling humour and self-depreciating honesty as Livingstone travels all over the world proclaiming the Gospel. The result is a page turning tour de force that urges the reader to pursue God unreservedly and to join with Him in the adventure of pursuing the lost. Greg’s burden for the millions of Muslims who had no gospel witness amongst them led to the launching of Frontiers, a mission agency focusing exclusively on church planting amongst Muslim communities. Today, Frontiers is a movement of more than 1,000 field workers in nearly 50 countries.
Download or read book Spent Matches written by Roy Moran and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spent Matches explores the possibility that a few small paradigm shifts within the church might make the difference between extinction and effectiveness. In fact, taking a clue from the automobile industry, the church might be able to not only halt the rapid decay in attendance but also become an effective tool in achieving Jesus' final command. For instance, the Hybrid car has become the answer to Detroit's environmental and oil crisis issues. Finding the synergy between two technologies, gas and electric has created a new day for the auto industry. Likewise, Spent Matchesexplores how the church can find synergy between two seemingly competing thoughts: an invitation to come and a command to go. The Hybrid metaphor brings energy to the church's mission and an explanation to the age-old argument of Missional versus Attractional methods. Features include: Innovative ideas for growing the church Methods to reach those who may never have attended church Scripture passages that touch on the subject of church growth
Book Synopsis Church Planting in the Secular West by : Stefan Paas
Download or read book Church Planting in the Secular West written by Stefan Paas and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert study of church planting in the most secular part of contemporary Europe In this book Stefan Paas offers thoughtful analysis of reasons and motives for missionary church planting in Europe, and he explores successful and unsuccessful strategies in that post-Christian secularized context. Drawing in part on his own involvement with planting two churches in the Netherlands, Paas explores confessional motives, growth motives, and innovation motives for church planting in Europe, tracing them back to different traditions and reflecting on them from theological and empirical perspectives. He presents examples from the European context and offers sound advice for improving existing missional practices. Paas also draws out lessons for North America in a chapter coauthored with Darrell Guder and John Franke. Finally, Paas weaves together the various threads in the book with a theological defense of church planting. Presenting new research as it does, this critical missiological perspective will add significantly to a fuller understanding of church planting in our contemporary context.

In this sequel, devoted workers provide detailed stories of praise and imprisonment and inspiring portraits of the spread of the Christian movement—including a growing church in the shadow of a mosque. Fruitful Practice researchers visited and interviewed about thirty church-planting teams on-site across six regions, translating and transcribing full tales of their cross-cultural gospel work. Where There Is Now a Church provides seven case studies showing how God has established churches and church-planting movements among Muslim peoples. Each case study is accompanied by thoughtful discussion questions and a list of the church-planting practices it illustrates. The expansive appendix explains, categorizes, and describes a more complete list of sixty-eight fruitful practices for evangelism and church planting in Muslim settings. This readable and encouraging book describes many practices that can also be applied in non-Muslim contexts. This book will encourage veteran workers and inspire new servants to reach God’s children throughout the Muslim world. The bottom line is that the message of hope in the Bible can overcome anything.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We need a bigger vision for the city. It's not enough to plant individual churches in isolation from each other. The spiritual need and opportunity of our cities is too big for any one church to meet alone. Pastors Neil Powell and John James contend that to truly transform a city, the gospel compels us to create localized, collaborative church planting movements. They share lessons learned and principles discovered from their experiences leading a successful citywide movement. The more willing we are to collaborate across denominations and networks, the more effectively we will reach our communities—whatever their size—for Jesus. Come discover what God can do in our cities when we work together.
Book Synopsis Sharing Your Faith With A Muslim by : Abdiyah Akbar Abdul-Haqq
Download or read book Sharing Your Faith With A Muslim written by Abdiyah Akbar Abdul-Haqq and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1980-08-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book for you if you are serious about communicating the truth of the Gospel to Muslims.It is thorough.It is authoritative.It is written by a third-world Christian whose father was a convert from Islam.It is the contention of the author that an effective evangelistic approach to the adherents of Islam must be based upon a study of Christ as He is found in both Scripture and the Koran. Christ, then, becomes the bridge between the two faiths. Such a search is, to Abdul-Haqq, the natural means of introducing the Savior. Having seen Christ on the pages of the Bible, he moves on to a presentation of the great issues of sin, salvation, and the nature of God as the final pressing points to raise in efforts to win Muslim friends and neighbors to Jesus.
Book Synopsis Where There Was No Church (2nd Edition): by : EJ Martin
Download or read book Where There Was No Church (2nd Edition): written by EJ Martin and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to live in a society where there is no active witness to the Gospel? In predominately Muslim countries, even the introduction of Jesus into a community can be dangerous. However, the Lord is bringing fruitful workers to begin discipling seekers. While fruit can be slow to produce and start as ones and twos, entire Muslim families and networks of families can eventually follow Jesus. The first part of Where There Was No Church brings together stories that show what God is doing through his people among Muslims. The stories are engaging and bring to life fruitful practices and practical insights about reaching our Muslim neighbors. The second part of the book contains discussion questions to guide leaders in discussions about the narratives. If you work in the Muslim world or are interested in doing so in the future, you will find this to be an excellent resource. The principles illustrated through the stories will also be of value to anyone living among peoples where there is no church. The stories can be heart-wrenching at times, but they also illustrate how prayer and faith can triumph in difficult circumstances.
