God is inviting us to join in the transformation of global poverty. It's time to act.
Jesus's words, "Blessed are you who are poor," are the seeds of a new reality. So how can God's people participate in this transformation of how to live and serve? Development in Mission offers a way forward and encourages readers to embrace a holistic approach to poverty alleviation.
Gathering their diverse perspectives on international development, the authors construct a solid theological foundation for global mission. They distill principles for effective Christian engagement in several key sectors, including education, income and poverty reduction, water and sanitation systems, creation care, healthcare delivery, disaster relief, peacemaking, sports ministries, and others.
Congregations, missionaries, nonprofit leaders, and Christians in the Global North will find fresh perspectives for engaging global vulnerability, poverty, and injustice faithfully and effectively. Along the way, readers will find that they are being transformed themselves as they join God's mission in the world.
"This is the definitive new resource for holistic, global mission―a must-read for every aspiring world-changer and missionary. Weaving their own vast cross-cultural experience in with solid biblical foundations and practical insights, the authors have created the best book for transformation I have read in a long time."
―Craig Greenfield,founder of Alongsiders International and author of How [not] to be a White Savior and Subversive Jesus
"It's time for a radical shift in our approach to global development―moving from short-term, quick fixes to relational and sustainable solutions. Development in Mission affirms Christ's call to go into all the world―not as heroes, but as servants; not as problem solvers, but as active learners. The book unites theory and practice, biblical wisdom and global application, as we understand how to truly love our global neighbors."
―Peter Greer, President and CEO of HOPE International and coauthor of Rooting for Rivals
"Development in Mission is a tour de force into the complexity of poverty that confronts some two billion people in the world today. Lynn, Gailey, and Reese present an unvarnished look at the causes and implications of one of the world's greatest challenges, while guiding us toward proven solutions with a humility we must chase after in order to achieve results. This is more than a book; it's an invitation to participate in one of the greatest movements in history: ending poverty for millions in our lifetime."
―Belinda Bauman,founder of One Million Thumbprints and author of Brave Souls; Stephan Bauman, former President and CEO of World Relief and author of Seeking Refuge
