Freeing Congregational Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Freeing Congregational Mission is a welcoming multicultural, postcolonial, and interdisciplinary work that encourages a critical forward view of God's mission (missio Dei) aimed at encouraging more faithful and effective missionengagements. With a distinct focus on the transforming energy of the short-term mission experience, the authors have produced an essential mentoring text to theologically encourage church mission leaders and seminarians who yearn for a more inclusive understanding of God's mission. By examining three core elements necessary to overcome current destructive cultural forces, this book demonstrates how churches, by valuing human diversity, human agency, and ethical behaviors, can learn to model dignity, respect, humility, and love of neighbor related to missions in both local and global contexts.”
