This month, The Fourth Lausanne Congress will be gathering in Seoul-Incheon, South Korea and aims to be catalytic in advancing the Movement’s fourfold vision—the gospel for every person, disciple-making churches for every people and place, Christ-like leaders for every church and sector, and kingdom impact in every sphere of society. They recently published a 500-page report on the Current + Future State of the Great Commission.
Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a 15-week awe-inspiring comprehensive study course that is rooted in the Scriptures. It’s a multi-faceted learning experience that has profoundly impacted over 250,000 alumni. It dramatically transformed my life and worldview when I took it as a newly minted missions pastor and I have been teaching classes since 1996.
Have you ever wondered about fasting for an extended period of time? Jesus, after all, fasted for 40 days in the Judean wilderness. I wrote a short introduction to what the Bible teaches about fasting a few years ago for those new to fasting, since I have found fasting to be a helpful discipline at various times in my life.
But since I have no experience with prolonged fasting, I reached out to my friend, Bill MacLeod, to ask him questions about it.
We continue this month with Part II of my interview with Randy McAlister, co-director of Crisis Consultation International (CCI) which, since 1985, has been the premier provider of security and crisis management services to the international Christian community.
Are you considering leading or participating in a short-term missions trip this summer? Have short-term missions become too dangerous? Is the risk / reward proposition now becoming such that the risk far outweighs the reward, internationally, and even domestically?
Are you thinking about becoming a content-creator, or using social media to raise awareness for your or your ministry’s impact / influence? What questions do you have about how to proceed? What if you have already begun, but still have questions?
We will also be welcoming some other special guests to our “To Every Generation and Nation!” emphasis at MissionConnexion Northwest. Rev. Dr. Sameh Maurice, Senior Pastor of Kasr el Dobara Evangelical Church in Cairo, Egypt – the largest church in the Middle East – will be sharing with us some of the exciting things they see happening in that region.
