Mission of the Church is a vital resource to reinvigorate the missionary commitment of the church in this new century. In each of the chapters, the accomplished authors identify a significant missional focus and challenge--inviting churches to participate in God's work of transforming the world. Without a doubt, these essays of practical theology will revitalize, mobilize, and align the church with the mission of God. --David E. Ramirez, Assistant General Overseer, Executive Director, Division of Education, Church of God The Mission of the Church . . . is a lucid and insightful description of the church's mission in the world. Not only does it describe what God expects of His church, but it shows the church's responsibility to FINISH the Great Commission. I sincerely endorse this valuable work. --Timothy M. Hill, Church of God General Overseer These engaging and thoughtful chapters . . . feature some critical convictions for the churches of North America. How might our expectations and actions change if we believe God is the primary agent and is ahead of us among our neighbors and in our communities? . . . In addition to thoughtful and imaginative reading of these chapters, I'd recommend new prayerful and attentive experiments, with the hope you will find Spirit-inspired mission. --Mark Lau Branson, Professor, Fuller Theological Seminary I'm a child of the church. My parents pioneered a Pentecostal church in my hometown of Lucknow, India. That is why reading Mission of the Church stirred something within me. My friends from Lee University have combined scholarship with pragmatism to develop what the Mission of the Church means holistically. This is not a one-off book, rather one that will be underlined again and again and cherished as we are reminded about the Mission of the Church. --Sam Chand, author of Bigger Faster Leadership
