Missional Reformation For Discipling Nations

The Lord is directing His Church in this generation towards social cultural transformation. Missional Reformation provides the theological base for Church-Society interaction. This is the second major Reformation of the Church. Up till now, the Church has understood the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to be the Gospel of Salvation alone. This book stresses the theology of Good Works that has been neglected by the Church for centuries. Discipling nations is one of the five cardinal principles of Good Works. The book is based on revelations and research. It provides answers to many theological questions. Volume 1 of the book focuses on the theological background while Volume 2 focuses on the practical aspect with the Embassy of God Church in Ukraine as the model church.

After 57 years of service involving Asia, Africa and Latin America, a veteran missionary is calling for a reformation in the way foreign missionary work is done. Bob Finley advocates the withdrawal of all American missionaries from foreign countries, and recommends supporting indigenous missions instead. He contends that there is no precedent formodern missions in the New Testament, no mention of apostles going to work in foreign countries, or anyone else being sent to serve where he did not know the local language.This book is a must read for pastors,missions committee members, professors of missions, and all other Christians who are interested in foreign missionary activities of American evangelicals.

The power of the gospel to transform individual lives has been evident throughout New Testament history. But what of the darkness and poverty that enslave entire nations? Miller builds a powerful, convincing thesis that God's truth can free whole societies from deception and poverty. Excellent study of worldviews!

Monsignor Michael Nazir-Ali draws on the rich history of Ecclesia Anglicana, the complex reality that has been the English church from the beginning – he discusses its glories, achievements, vicissitudes and failures; as well as the expansion and adaptation of this 'Anglican' heritage to different parts of the world and many cultures. Nazir-Ali starts with the different ways in which England was first evangelized and how, in turn, the Church of (or in) England (Ecclesia Anglicana) was able to send missionaries to continental Europe for primary evangelism and church planting. He examines the more recent past with the evangelical and Catholic revivals in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and their significance for mission both at home and abroad. The formation of mission agencies gave a new impetus to mission, challenging people to give, to pray, and to go. He then considers what we can learn from mission today in different parts of the world; providing specific examples of such missionary activity of the churches in Nigeria and Kenya, as well as the churches in South East Asia. The book examines how the gospel connects with culture, what we need to learn from the global Church about mission and ministry, the different models for mission and ministry, ranging from the incarnational to the itinerant, from inculturation to social and political activism and from embassy to hospitality.

Discipling Nations (A Workbook on Principles of Discipleship) is written to create an awareness of the necessity for discipleship in the body of Christ. Jesus Christ spent three years to disciple twelve people that changed the world. It is therefore essential that we embark on aggressive discipleship if we genuinely want to see Christ-like Christians in our generation and witness an uncommon harvest of souls to the kingdom of God as well as unimaginable church growth. Amongst other things you will learn in this book are: • Who is a disciple? • Why is discipleship crucial? • What is discipleship? • How do you disciple a new convert? • How does discipleship lead to church growth? • What is the cost of discipleship? This well written expose, easy to read epistle on Discipling Nations from Pastor Dada gives us the needed guidance to doing just that. .... It is indispensable to any Christian who wants to fulfil the mandate of Jesus Christ. Pastor Abraham Olukunle Akinosun; President Christ Apostolic Church worldwide

Bestselling author Cindy Jacobs calls individuals and the church to a new reformation that will transform communities and the nations.

"The New Apostolic Reformation is not a cult" insist its leaders. Those who affiliate with it believe the Apostles' Creed and all the standard classic statements of Christian doctrine. However what the NAR does represent says one of its most respected leaders, C. Peter Wagner, Ph.D. is "the most radical change in the way of doing church since the Protestant Reformation." Drawing from his many years of experience as a full-time missionary on the mission fields of Asia, and thousands of hours of study, Bible teaching, leadership and discipleship training in villages and urban centers he has completed around the world, Frederick Osborn offers a brief, but objective evaluation of the movement so far. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has changed traditional Protestantism regarding the quality of church life, polity, worship, theology, missional goals, and our view of the eschatological future. But have all these changes been good? As this movement spreads, questions are being raised by many Christians concerning this movement. Have all the changes wrought by the NAR opened the door for a new wave of false teachers and prophets to come into the ranks of the church? Are these false teachers and prophets like the ancient Gnostics and Judaizers of the early church that brought with them destructive heresies? Must they be confronted and done away with before they run all of Christianity off the rails of biblical truth and into a postmodern no-man's-land where practically anything and everything goes? A definitive answer is not offered here, but some biblical guidelines are offered for evaluating and assessing what this new prophetic-apostolic movement represents.
