Missionary Money: How it All Works

Missionary Money: How it All Works

  My grandparents were missionaries in Brazil for over 40 years. They trained with New Tribes Mission (now Ethnos360) in the 1940s and as far as I understand served for a short time with the organization before switching organizations to serve in an area of Brazil that NTM was not already serving in. I remember […]

So-Called Missionary Call

So-Called Missionary Call

I don’t believe in the “missionary call.” Well, at least as it is classically understood as a special, unique or personal calling that an individual receives directly from the Lord as confirmation that he or she is to become a missionary.

An 8-Point Mission Doctrinal Statement

An 8-Point Mission Doctrinal Statement

Do you enjoy reading church doctrinal statements? Personally, I enjoy going into a new church, locating the doctrinal statement and examining it for its uniqueness. I enjoy how every church or denomination chooses its words very intentionally as it coins its statement of faith; the rocks, if you will, that the church will die on. […]

You Can Be a Part!

You Can Be a Part!

We have the privilege and the opportunity to be involved in what God is doing in the world around us. As we examine the words of our Lord Christ in Matthew 28:19-20 commissioning His disciples to make disciples of the entire world, we are left with the ball of involvement in our court. The next […]
