Ministering in Patronage Cultures

Evangelism & Missions

“Whether you're serving in a crosscultural location or studying the Scripture, Jayson Georges's Ministering in Patronage Cultures will transform your understanding of patronage. Because patron-client relationships dominate the majority of the world's population, Georges's book fills a critical gap of knowledge. Furthermore, most of the people in the Bible lived under this model of authority and relationship, hence a grasp of patronage is necessary for proper biblical hermeneutics. Extensive research and references fill every chapter along with stories and experiences to illustrate principles discussed. Ministering in Patronage Cultures guides, and ultimately redeems, the patron-client orientation into a collaborative, interdependent, and biblical model of patronage. I highly recommend adding this resource to your bookshelf!”

Mission 3:16

Evangelism & Missions

“What do you do when something becomes so familiar that its wonder and magnificence fades into the common and the ordinary? Paul Borthwick's new book takes us into the passion and the heart of the most familiar verse in the Bible, John 3:16. Through extensive study, he examines each phrase of the verse as one would investigate the sides of a prism. Readers gain not only clarity to the history and the call of the words but also discover the urgency of the mission of Jesus' words. This book is for all who are familiar with—or even memorized—John 3:16 and yearn to live a mission 3:16 life.”

Praying for Your Missionary

Evangelism & Missions

“Eddie Byun's new book moves us from casual prayer to engagement in the spiritual battles of missionaries. Each chapter introduces a new dimension of potential personal and ministerial challenges. From the discernment of call to retiring well, Eddie Byun lays the biblical foundation needed to commit to the all-encompassing prayer base our ministry partners need. Praying for Your Missionary is a must-read for all pastors, small groups, and individuals who mobilize to pray for their gospel partners. It's a resource to return to over and over again.”
