Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in his ministry in Central America, Melvin Hodges became firmly convinced that training national workers was the key to effectively evangelizing any country. The Central American church experienced rapid growth in the early 1950 s. In 1953, Hodges was asked to expound on the church planting principles used, so he wrote The Indigenous Church. This new volume combines Hodges' book The Indigenous Church with a later work, The Indigenous Church and the Missionary. These books have had incredible influence on missions worldwide. This new edition offers a fresh look at proven missions methodology for a new generation answering the call to reach the lost and to establish the Church worldwide.

Download or read book Planting an Indigenous Church written by Jin Huat Tan and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: The story of the BEM and the SIB highlights the importance of intentional mission policy and its sustained implementation for the development of an indigenous church. Having a clearly defined exit policy provided the necessary impetus for the BEM to plant a church, which was able to stand on its own feet. There have been a number of contextual factors, such as the administrative policies of the Brooke government and the changing political situations in Sarawak and Malaysia that have threatened to limit the growth of BEM and SIB. However, the abilities of indigenous leaders in taking ownership of the SIB, have enabled them to negotiate these challenges in such a manner that has made it the most significant indigenous church in Malaysia. Endorsements: This publication is an event to be warmly welcomed. In important respects this work breaks new ground. Southeast Asia is still underrepresented in the scholarly literature on the history of indigenous appropriation of Christian missionary traditions--at least so far as Anglophone scholarship is concerned. Tan Jin Huat's research into the origins of the SIB illuminates the ways in which village peoples who adhered to a spirit-based cosmology reframed a conservative evangelical presentation of the gospel as a message about the superior power of Christ over the spirits. From the Foreword by Brian Stanley, Professor of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh An amazing story of revival, renewal, and transformation of the entire region chronicling the powerful effect of it evident to date! What can we learn from this extensive and careful study of the Borneo Revival, so that global Christianity will become ever more dynamic. Tan certainly has his suggestions. Wonsuk Ma, Oxford Ccntre for Mission Studies, UK A model of respectful, humble, thoughtful, and analytical scholarship and a story worth telling. Dr Tan Jin Huat has written a pioneering study of the origins and development of Malaysia's most significant indigenous church. This is a rich and vital source for grounding the identity of the Sidang Injil Borneo in an informed understanding of its own history. Seldom do churches early in their lives have an account of their origins where respect for those involved in its formation is matched by a willingness to note the human side of all the work they seek to do for God. John Roxborogh, Mission Historian, Dunedin, New Zealand. About the Contributor(s): Jin Huat Tan has served as a theological lecturer for many years in two theological seminaries in Malaysia. He is the Dean of Studies at Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (Malaysia Theological Seminary), Seremban, Malaysia. As an Anglican minister, he was involved in planting an Anglican church in Kuala Lumpur, and has served as pastor in a few Anglican churches. His interest in history from his primary schooldays has finally led him to fulfill his childhood dream to write a book on history. His other passion is expository preaching.

Download or read book Repositioning the Missionary written by Vicente M. Diaz and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of an emergent Native Pacific brand of cultural studies, Repositioning the Missionary critically examines the cultural and political stakes of the historic and present-day movement to canonize Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores (1627–1672), the Spanish Jesuit missionary who was martyred by Mata'pang of Guam while establishing the Catholic mission among the Chamorros in the Mariana Islands. The work juxtaposes official, popular, and critical perspectives of the movement to complicate prevailing ideas about colonialism, historiography, and indigenous culture and identity in the Pacific. The book is divided into three sections. The first, "From Above, Working the Native," focuses exclusively on the narratological reconsolidation of official Roman Catholic Church viewpoints as staked in the historic (seventeenth century) and contemporary (twentieth century) movements to canonize San Vitores, including the symbolic costs of these viewpoints for Native Chamorro cultural and political possibilities not in line with Church views. Section two, "From Below: Working the Saint," shifts attention and perspective to local, competing forms of Chamorro piety. In their effort to canonize San Vitores, Natives also rework the saint to negotiate new cultural and social canons for themselves and in ways that produce new meanings for their island. "From Behind: Transgressive Histories" shifts from official and lay Roman and Chamorro Catholic viewpoints to the author’s own critical project of rendering alternative portrayals of San Vitores and Mata'pang. Theoretically innovative and provocative, humorous, and inspired, Repositioning the Missionary melds poststructuralist, feminist, Native studies, and cultural studies analytic and political frameworks with an intensely personal voice to model a new critical interdisciplinary approach to the study of indigenous culture and history.

Book excerpt: Among the assumptions interrogated in this volume, edited by Anthony E. Clark, is if Christianity should most accurately be identified as “Chinese” when it displays vestiges of Chinese cultural aesthetics, or whether Chinese Christianity is more indigenous when it is allowed to form its own theological framework. In other words, can theological uniqueness also function as a legitimate Chinese Christian cultural expression in the formation of its own ecclesial identity? Also central to what is explored in this book is how missionary influences, consciously or unconsciously, introduced seeds of independence into the cultural ethos of China’s Christian community. Chinese girls who pushed “the limits of proper behaviour,” for example, added to the larger sense of confidence as China’s Christians began to resist the model of Christianity they had inherited from foreign missionaries. Contributors are: Robert E. Carbonneau, CP, Christie Chui-Shan Chow, Amanda C. R. Clark, Lydia Gerber, Joseph W. Ho, Joseph Tse-hei Lee, Audrey Seah, Jean-Paul Wiest, and Xiaoxin Wu.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If it were once believed that the freedom of churches should be restricted to bring greater control to missions, Roland Allen sets out to overturn this conception. Warning against the danger of imposing greater limits on churches, the Author advocates that all members of the church, 'natives' and foreigners alike, must take an active role in its establishment and daily life. The study divides itself into nine chapters; the first, introducing Allen's standpoint, the second as an opening into thenature and character of Spontaneous Expression. The third chapter deals with modern attempts by 'natives' towards the liberty of their churches. The fear of the doctrine becoming weakened by natives taking it into their own hands is addressed by chapter four and this fear is widened into the realm of the Christian standard of morals in chapter five. Civilisation and enlightenment form the central themes of the sixth chapter. Chapters seven and eight tackle the distinction between the Church andmissionary societies. It is in the final chapter that the future of Spontaneous Expansion is investigated and Allen puts forward his ideas which, as he rightly predicted, were broadly accepted fifty years and longer still after their original publication."

Download or read book Canadian Missionaries, Indigenous Peoples written by Alvyn Austin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian missions and missionaries have had a distinctive role in Canada's cultural history. With Canadian Missionaries, Indigenous Peoples, Alvyn Austin and Jamie S. Scott have brought together new and established Canadian scholars to examine the encounters between Christian (Roman Catholic and Protestant) missionaries and the indigenous peoples with whom they worked in nineteenth- and twentieth-century domestic and overseas missions. This tightly integrated collection is divided into three sections. The first contains essays on missionaries and converts in western Canada and in the arctic. The essays in the second section investigate various facets of the Canadian missionary presence and its legacy in east Asia, India, and Africa. The third section examines the motives and methods of missionaries as important contributors to Canadian museum holdings of artefacts from Huronia, Kahnawaga, and Alaska, as well as China and the South Pacific. Broadly adopting a postcolonial perspective, Canadian Missionaries, Indigenous Peoples contributes greatly to the understanding of missionaries not only as purveyors of western religious values, but also as vehicles for cultural exchange between Native and non-Native Canadians, as well as between Canadians and the indigenous peoples of other countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At this critical point in the history of World Missions, it is imperative for us to take a step back from “business as usual” in our work around the globe and reevaluate the strategies and methods we are implementing. What is working? What isn’t? If we’re honest, there may be more not working than we would care to admit. In this book, written in the early 1900s, Roland Allen invites us to look at the missionary work of the Apostle Paul with fresh eyes and an igniting perspective that is strikingly relevant to the greatest challenges we are facing today in modern missions. He offers a well of insight from the methodology of Paul that will focus and unite us as we draw nearer than ever before to our goal of fulfilling the Great Commission and reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: Newly updated, revised edition. A complete missionary manual for evangelical missionaries. Missionary Methods is an enduring classic, a how-to that every single missionary should read, as well as any lay person who desires to be a useful part of the body of Christ. The author, Roland Allen, takes a thorough look at the practice and principle of arguably the most successful church planter in history, the biblical apostle Paul. Every missionary difficulty and success can be found in Acts and the apostle Paul's letters, which cover such topics as training, discipleship, finances, and sustainability. The "methods" are built on the foundation of a relationship with God, salvation through Christ, and the indwelling and leading of the Holy Spirit.
