How To Assess Potential Missionaries!
Statement highlight:
How To Assess Potential Missionaries!
In modern missions there is a hole in the missionary preperation process, assessing a missionary. Who has the primary role of assessing? Who should churches send out? Anyone? Qualified? If so what qualifications should they meet?
These are just a few of the questions our GCC members seek to navigate and provide clear answers to. Answers that are based in redemptive history of the christian scriptures.
Now, watch as one of our GCC members shines light on this hole in from personal experiences while on the mission field.

The Great Commission Council is a coalition of long-term missionaries from around the world who are dedicated to helping sending churches, mission agencies, and missionaries understand the greatest needs in modern missions. Though we come from various backgrounds and serve in different ways, we all agree on one central thing: the greatest need on the mission field today is to establish healthy indigenous churches for the glory of Christ.

Define: Contextualization

Contextualization has been a hot topic in modern missions, particularly in the past 20 years. When seeking to reach people in eastern religions contextualization has often gone off the rails to the point of syncretism. At the same time contextualization can be misunderstood, not realized, or underplayed. But with much discernment there is a god glorifying way for the missionary to tactfully con...

    So he determined out of one encounter that this missionary was not adequately prepared??? Who is to say that a missionary needs to share the gospel on the first encounter? Do people in these region come to faith after hearing the gospel for the first time? Really? Ok, did not want to know a person is not good. This does not indicate not trained. People have plenty of training, the problem is that generally wrong people choose the mission field. Many quit soon because they are not built for this. It is not necessarly training but pretty easy life they lived prior…. These videos a way to short to be helpful. What is the purpose? Some kind of teaser? Or, people do not have attention so we will post videos of 1-2 minutes? That does not serve much to this cause of the great commision! If you want for these videos to serve any purpose, need to post extensive videos!!!! The real training starts on the field.

    1."Share a clear gospel message that holds up Christ crucified - our resurrected Savior - and we need to make sure that we understand biblical conversion." 2. "Plant a church that is rooted in the main biblical principles of a healthy church for any time, in any land." Yes!! Build the church with materials that last! Thank you, Mack, for offering clarity to those in our evangelical community who have become confused about what church planting means. We need this clarity so desperately.

    Such a good point. Consider carefully whom you can and cannot link arms with based on your biblical convictions. So simple yet so underrated.
