Doing Missions in Difficult Contexts: Omnidirectional Missions
Ebook
Overview
Christians of the future global church will face challenges. We live in a time of unprecedented suffering of Christians. In the gospel-restricted world, more Christians have been persecuted in the past few years than at any other time while in the free world, Christians increasingly face the temptation of corruption, immorality, and family breakdowns. Lee shares his research and suggestions gleaned from his thirty years of ministry both in free and persecuted worlds. In the face of growing Christian suffering worldwide, this book provides hope and encouragement with stories from difficult mission contexts like a pandemic, social unrest, and other hostile environments to Christians. This is a must-read for anyone trying to live a godly life in Jesus Christ.
“In these troubled times, Dr. Lee provides a road map for
thoughtful missions under a wide range of difficult circumstances.
From personal and professional experience in missions, sound
missiological theology, and sociological insight, Dr. Lee’s book is
a much-needed manual for missionaries around the world.”
—Joshua D. Reichard, President and CEO, Omega Graduate School
“Dr. Paul Lee tackles the vital subject of suffering in global
missions with a rich combination of biblical, missiological, and
geopolitical perspectives and reflections. The many personal
stories bring home the reality of persecution. Yet, it has often
been forgotten that temptation is another face of persecution
affecting the global church. This is a book that speaks not only to
the mind but also the heart.”
—Anonymous, Director, a global evangelical missions agency serving
in security-sensitive areas
“Persecution and suffering have always been linked to gospel
proclamation since the days of Stephen. . . . This book
presents honest personal accounts, updated information, and
thoughtful reflections on how to overcome the challenges that the
church faces today to fulfill the Great Commission. It is written
by a passionate pastor to voice the pain of those suffering in the
mission field. It inspires us to go on mission with faithfulness
and integrity.”
—Jura Yanagihara, President, Alliance World Fellowship
