Missionary Training for the Twenty First Century: Biblical Foundations

Abstract

Christ’s instructions have not changed; the church still has the responsibility and privilege of sharing the gospel with all nations, making disciples who will be obedient to everything that Christ commanded.  The instructions are clear; we must cross the boundaries of cultures to make such disciples.  The message of the cross must reach all nations and all peoples.  The church must enter new contexts, making disciples among people of different languages, foods, forms of government, social norms, histories, relationships with the environment, and most important, different worldviews.
