Synopsis:
Cross-cultural ministry is extremely challenging and must be entered into with eyes wide open. The aim of this book is to help better prepare cross-cultural workers to accomplish the task to which God has called them, to help churches become more proactive in recruiting potential candidates and providing ministry opportunities for assessment and development of their gifts, and to help mission agencies more thoroughly evaluate candidates in light of needed competencies.
About the Authors:
Stephen M. Davis is an elder at Grace Church in Philadelphia (gracechurchphilly.org). He holds a PhD in Intercultural Studies from Columbia International University and a DMin in Missiology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He is the author of eight books including four on French history: Rise of French Laïcité in the Evangelical Missiological Society Monograph Series, The French Huguenots and Wars of Religion, French Protestantism's Struggle for Survival and Legitimacy (1517-1905), and The War of the Camisards (1702-1704): Huguenot Insurrection during the Reign of Louis XIV.
In 1970, Jesus Christ rescued John P. Davis from the dominion of sin and began a work of gospel transformation which continues to this day. John has planted and pastored churches for forty-six years in both urban and suburban settings and in mono-cultural and multi-ethnic settings. He is thankful for a good theological education, especially in his ThM studies at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has been the husband of Dawn for forty-seven years and is the father of five children and a grandfather of thirteen.
