The Global Missions Collection contains books that cover the spectrum of modern mission work—from the living room of a Muslim neighbor to the streets of the world’s largest cities. The goal of missions remains the same, but the methodology, organization, and execution continues to evolve. The 20 volumes in this collection offer a comprehensive look at today’s outreach efforts from leaders in the field.

Ministry training often emphasizes expanding on the work of existing ministries to the neglect of addressing the difficulties of planting new churches in North America and around the world. This volume provides a practical, thorough, biblical, and inspirational corrective. Incorporating relevant sociological, anthropological, and historical insights, Hesselgrave extrapolates 10 phases of cross-cultural church planting that are faithful to Jesus’ commandment to make disciples and to Paul’s missionary example. This second edition draws on more recent literature, offers refined arguments, and highlights Paul’s ministry pattern. In addition, many charts, graphs, and forms bolster Hesselgrave’s skillful description of effective cross-cultural church planting.

Drawing from Scripture, social sciences, and history, David J. Hesselgrave tackles the most pressing issues facing missionaries today.

Despite rapid global changes, Hesselgrave holds that much of traditional theory, practice, and theology is still valid, if not essential, for the future of Christian missions.

As the first title in the new Evangelical Missiological Society series, this textbook is designed for use in addressing: Contemporary Issues in Missions, Mission Strategy, Theology of Mission, Survey of Mission, Mission Principles and Practices, Strategy for World Evangelization, Church Planting, Church Growth, and Contextualization.

Classical orthodoxy, the Reformational understanding of the gospel, and the Great Awakening beliefs and behaviors, including missions/missiology, reflect what the evangelical movement and its mission should be if it is to have a future. Evangelicals must work and pray together in resubmission of their ways of thinking and working to the Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They must recover the faith of the fathers and the mission of the revivalists. Nothing less will rescue American…
