Although cross-cultural missions has many challenges, we are not alone. Its source and power is God. He is the one who is calling the nations to him. Walking in step with God should open a well of joy that carries us day by day. Drawing on that well uncovers our vulnerability. Then, we free God’s power to work in and through us.

EMQ Volume 62 Issue 4
Mission is a spiritual process. As Christ’s ambassadors we share his life with a dying world. His Spirit lives in and empowers us. He convicts those around us. Sometimes, we get so caught up in the work we forget the importance of spirituality. Yet, our work is to represent the living Christ to others. A strong relationship with God is foundational for effectiveness and perseverance. This issue explores what spiritual life looks like in practical terms.

African participation in global mission is expanding, yet this movement will not be sustained by replicating imported funding systems. Many prevailing models, shaped in Minority World contexts, fail to reflect African economic patterns, communal values, and cultural realities. Majority World mission systems must be rooted in local contexts while remaining globally connected. The article outlines the challenges associated with applying non-contextual funding models and suggests possibilities for collaboration and partnerships in God's global mission. https://app.missionexus.org/resources/reframing-mission-support-for-the-majority-world/

What if the church’s greatest obstacle to mission is church life itself? This article introduces “Church-Gravity Syndrome,” the tendency of Christian communities to pull believers away from the very people they hope to reach. Drawing on Jesus’ ministry and movements in Thailand, it shows how discipleship flourishes when believers minister among the lost. Practical steps for cultivating an incarnational presence among the lost are discussed.

Jesus’ disciples walked with him, ate with him, lived with him, hurt with him, and later reproduced what they experienced. The most effective discipling occurs in multigenerational community. It is active and flexible to changing circumstances. The best disciplers come alongside disciples, teaching them to apply the Bible amid the challenges of everyday life.

Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all peoples, teaching them to obey all he commanded. This issue explores discipling essentials and challenges with particular attention to cross-cultural ministry. These explorations are informed and illustrated by authors’ personal experience in multiple differing contexts around the globe.

The US, like many nations, is not a mono-cultural mission field. Beneath the surface, immigrant, refugee, minority, and younger generations live with shame-honor, fear–power, marginalization–belonging, and brokenness–wholeness (healing) dynamics that shape how they perceive sin, redemption, and identity. This article challenges churches to reclaim a holistic gospel – proclaiming forgiveness, restoring honor and belonging, conquering fear, and healing from brokenness and trauma – while building spiritual resilience for transformative discipleship in America’s complex cultural landscape. Although written with a US focus, its content is relevant to all contexts with diverse populations across the world.

In 2001, a small group met in Nairobi to put together materials to respond to traumatized people in war zones across Africa. This program and its materials have spread around the world. First, the history and development of the program are presented. Then, the article reports research findings on the program’s effectiveness in relieving trauma symptoms, developing spirituality, and increasing coping skills. The article closes with insights into why this approach has been so successful.

Jesus’s coming was whole-of-life. Yet often, when thinking of the gospel, we focus just on words. Thinking of the wholeness of salvation alerts us we always have more to learn. Openness to things we have not previously encountered or thought of is critical for effective missionary work. No doubt, more challenges will come that we are not yet aware of. But Jesus is the answer. He will show us how to live holistically for him wherever we are.
