With the extraordinary growth of Christianity in the global south has come the rise of "reverse missions," in which countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America send missionaries to re-evangelize the West. In The Spirit Moves West, Rebecca Kim uses South Korea as a case study of how non-Western missionaries target Americans, particularly white Americans. She draws on four years of interviews, participant observation, and surveys of South Korea's largest non-denominational missionary-sending agency, University Bible Fellowship, in order to provide an inside look at this growing phenomenon. Known as the "Asian Protestant Superpower," South Korea is second only to the United States in the number of missionaries it sends abroad: approximately 22,000 in over 160 countries. Conducting her research both in the US and in South Korea, Kim studies the motivations and methods of these Korean evangelicals who have, since the 1970s, sought to "bring the gospel back" to America. By offering the first empirically-grounded examination of this much-discussed phenomenon, Kim explores what non-Western missions will mean to the future of Christianity in America and around the world.

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVES will help you to answer questions such as: • Is the Holy Spirit the same Spirit who was poured out at Pentecost? • Is the Bible still true in our time, or are we so blinded by materialism and intellectualism that we are no longer open to the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit? • Is the same power of the Holy Spirit available in the modern times in which we live? • Is the Holy Spirit of Pentecost still the same Spirit who can and wants to work in our hearts and lives in our day and age? • Can we expect the Holy Spirit, who worked through simple and uneducated “fishermen”, to perform powerful miracles and give miraculous signs in society today? Learn how the Holy Spirit can operate in a new way in your life, bringing spiritual growth and revival to you as well as to the greater Body of Christ. At the end of each chapter are questions for personal Bible study or group discussion.

Pastor Vince's memoir, When the Spirit Moves, is a carefully crafted literary exposition of the faithful journey of a poor, Jamaican born Englishman. Yet, because of its articulated integrity and spiritual candour, unnumbered thousands of Caribbean peoples will find this miraculous saga irresistible. It has regional and international attractions and identifications baked into its articulated fibre. Perhaps, one of the most interesting aspects of this easy-to-read, but hard to put down autobiography is the fact that the content generates emotional turbulence. Yet, at the same time, it provides hope and comfort, peace and pleasure, vision and faith all wrapped securely in a sound Biblical theological blanket. What Pastor Vince humbly permitted God to do in his life and with his lifestyle, drowns out most excuses for living a life without purpose. His story takes away excuses for not being all that God intends for one to become. It leaves no excuses for failures. By the grace of God, Pastor Vince made quality decisions and did many magnanimous things that most people generally fail to do. Ironically, Pastor Vince, like so many Caribbean and African peoples whose lands and treasures were borrowed, destroyed or stolen, had the courage to forgive and forget the colonial history. Most interestingly, they risked life, in many instances, to leave their native lands and journey to the very heart of the socio-political and economic global empire that once oppressed. They took advantage of available opportunities that enabled them to survive and thrive through hard work, education and raw faith in themselves and a sanctified faith in Almighty God.
