Context & Challenges
Bryant L. Myers

The world is changing at an unprecedented rate; the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen; and the need to hear the good news of the gospel remains as urgent as it was thousands of years ago. Christians have unparalleled opportunities to come alongside people in need. Exploring World Mission reveals today’s greatest challenges for the body of Christ—interpreting them as opportunities to affect our world through loving God and our neighbor and acting according to Jesus’ compassion. A valuable resource for anyone interested in global outreach.

Also available: Presentation materials on CD-ROM to equip educators, speakers, and strategic planners.
