Summary:
WHEN THE NETWORK NEWS COMES ON AND SHOWS MORE AFRICANS SUFFERING FORM
STARVATION AND DISEASE, ARE YOU TEMPTED TO TURN THE DIAL? When you
read headlines about Latin American troops firing into a crowd of
angry demonstrators, do you rush past it to the sports page? When you
see the faces of Arabs who may never learn of Christ's love, do you
feel glad you weren't born a Muslim? You're not alone-even among
believers. There is increasing pressure on Christians today to "seek
personal comfort and ease, to look for a self-centered relationship
with God," writes Paul Borthwick. Instead of becoming world
Christians, we're becoming worldly Christians. A Mind for Missions
helps you break that mold. In these pages you'll discover ten
building blocks for sensitizing yourself or your group to the needs
beyond our borders. From prayer and giving to current events and
lifestyle choices, Borthwick leads you to practical ways of
sharpening your world vision right where you live. "A Mind for
Missions deals with the greatest need of today...Borthwick is not
just theoretical but practical as well."-J. Christy Wilson, Jr.,
professor of world evangelization, Gordon-Conwell Theological
Seminary "Borthwick's unique perspective as a pastor brings strong
encouragement to Christians who want to make God's global heart a
part of their daily lives."-Gordon Aeschliman, editor, World
Christian magazine "This is the most practical book I could recommend
for making missions a priority in the local church."-Colin McDougall,
director, Association of Church Missions Committees
