Jesus’ words, “Blessed are you who are poor,” are the seeds of a new reality. So how can God’s people participate in this transformation of how to live and serve? Development in Mission offers a way forward and encourages readers to embrace a holistic approach to poverty alleviation.
Congregations, missionaries, nonprofit leaders and Christians in the Global North will find fresh perspectives for engaging global vulnerability, poverty, and injustice faithfully and effectively. Along the way, readers will find that they are being transformed themselves as they join God’s mission in the world.
“This is the definitive new resource for holistic, global mission – a must-read for every aspiring world-changer and missionary.” – CRAIG GREENFIELD, founder of Alongsiders International and author of How [Not] to be a White Savior and Subversive Jesus Blessed.
