Relational Missions (e-book) (used book) | Lynndon L Thomas | bookbook.eu

Description

This book explores modern mission concepts and practices from the perspective of crossing cultures to form meaningful and transformative personal relationships. Relational missions involve intercultural relationships that change the sending church, the missionary, and the mission field. I believe exploring missions in the light of global intercultural connectionalism opens new doors to understanding missions. Connectionalism is a word that denotes relationships, equality of people, and institutional structures that bind people together. Missions is a well-studied disciple of Christian ministry. Scholars, researchers, and practitioners of missions have researched and developed concepts and practices that can be used for effective cross-cultural missions. This book looks at these mission concepts and practices in the light of global intercultural connectionalism, thus the title, Relational Missions. My goal is to present modern mission concepts in the light of relational connecting, thus producing new understandings about missions. Relational missions elevate missions to a different level, resulting in spiritual renewal for all.
