Must Read Article - by Ralph D. Winter

Posted September 22, 2007 by Bob Roberts Jr. // 3 comments

I don’t blog on Saturday’s - but the current issue of Mission Frontiers is just incredible. It is a must read of theology and history that Ralph Winter’s combines with reference to personal transformation and social transformation. I can’t figure out how to make this link thing work - but here’s the web address - http://www.missionfrontiers.org - and it’s the Sept.-Oct. issue. You can read it online. The title of the article is “The Future of Evangelicals in Mission. Read eagerly!

Bob, thanks for the link to Winter's article, very helpful historical perspective and emphasis on the seeing our participation within the Kingdom of God. I also appreciate his optimism on the future of the evangelical mission movement. I liked this quote:

"It is the announcement of a 'rule and reign of God' which must be extended to the whole world and all of creation. We must stand up and be counted as active Christian foes of the world’s worst evils. This is the biblical way, the way more than any other, in which missions have in the past and now even more so in the future can more powerfully and extensively than ever demonstrate who God is and what His purposes are."

Have you read Glasser's "Announcing the Kingdom?" I have it but haven't started reading yet.

I've read parts of it Brad but not all of it - I like it a lot - he's one of "the" guys to follow on the Kingdom. I LOVED your blog - I'm going to start following it - good good good stuff there.

Brad,

"Announcing the Kingdom" is a fantastic book. I recently read it for my seminary work and posted a review on my blog. I think you will enjoy the book.

I have already recommended Glocalnet’s church planter training and will continue to do so. I have been greatly impressed with NorthWood’s track record for igniting culturally sensitive movements overseas, and I always feel encouraged after my interactions with Bob Roberts and the team. It is rare to find a North American church with such an intimately close connection to the global scene and a holistic strategy to bring the gospel’s transformation to the various levels of society.

The unique aspect of the NorthWood Church Multiplication Center is its balanced emphasis on planting New Testament churches that plant other churches locally and impact the world globally. This local-global element sets them apart. When you look at the quality of the churches their graduates have planted, and the effectiveness with which they grow, multiply and team for greater impact, it raises NorthWood Church Multiplication Center to the top echelon of church planter training centers in North America. I can unreservedly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn the craft of starting New Testament churches which multiply themselves and impact the world.
