The Barnabas Factor: How Crosscultural Partnership Amplifies Global Mission
"Global Voices on Global Mission
Global mission has moved into a new era when it is no longer just 'from the West to the rest' but rather 'from everywhere to everywhere.' But too often mission workers have not partnered well with local communities, hurting Christian witness and ministry efforts. And as the global church sends more and more missionaries, how can we learn from the past, develop new ways of partnering, and avoid repeating these same mistakes? The book of Acts provides a role model.
Many people go into global missions to be like Paul, the pioneer taking the gospel to places where people have never heard. But in an era of mission when the church is truly global, Paul's companion Barnabas is an exceptional model of mission service.
In this multifaceted volume, mission practitioners from around the world unpack the life and ministry of Barnabas. Contributors from Zambia, Bosnia, Australia, India, Ghana, New Zealand, Latin America, and the United States provide diverse experiences, global viewpoints, and best practices for effective mission partnerships that embrace humility, generosity, and mutuality."
