Christian Missions

I am ashamed to say it, but I haven't read many books on Christian missions. But here are two challenging ones:
1. John Piper's Let the Nations Be Glad, which has helped lots of people come to understand God's purpose in creating and saving and using us. This exciting book explains what it really means to follow Jesus and is an outstanding exposition of the theology of Christian missions. It gives an overview of God's plan for the world, and our part in it.

2. While K P Yohannan's Revolution in World Missions is not as well written or edited, it explains clearly how we can be a part of God's plan to bring his saving message to every tribe and language and person. After reading Piper's book, you may be all fired up to go overseas and be a missionary, but this second book will show you a far better way to fulfil Jesus' words to us to take the good news to all the world.

A few of us may be able to go where Christ's message has never been heard, but most of us will have to go vicariously through our prayers and support of indigenous missionaries.

There are many organisations which are working in the 10/40 window but there is no better one than Gospel For Asia, which has 14,000 locals spreading the word of Jesus throughout the hundreds of thousands of villages where Jesus' message has never been heard.

I hope these 2 books will change your life as they have mine.
