In Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew records Jesus' final words to his disciples, these verses became known as "The Great Commission." Since then, the gift of Christ's Great Commission disciples has left its own culture to engage another with the saving message of the Gospel. Many books, articles, and blogs have been written on the topic of world evangelism or missions. One such book on missions is titled “The Changing Face of Global Missions: Engaging Contemporary Issues and Trends.” This book was written by Michael Pocock, Gailyn Van Rheenen and Douglas McConnell. All three are experts in the field of missions; the writers have served overseas and are currently engaged in equipping the next generation by teaching in Dallas and at Fuller Theological Seminary. The authors bring a wealth of personal and academic excellence to their particular chapters as well as a passion for carrying the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The balance between academia and real-world applications makes “The Changing Face of Global Missions” an informative and exciting read. “The Changing Face of Global Missions” attempts to educate readers as well as assess some trends occurring around the world. the field of missions.

The thesis of the book is on page twelve, where the authors are in the middle of the paper...the book needs a chapter in which all the arguments and information can be summarized. My eyes were opened in the second section, to the work of the Gospel in other cultures. I would apply the lessons learned in the book by focusing on hospitality, reaching out to internationals here in America by inviting them to my home and sharing a meal with internationals. I will also apply principles regarding the use of money and the need to do things in ministry that are replicable by local believers. I would recommend this book to serious students of missions, emphasizing the importance of case studies that allow those interested in missions to apply the concepts in real-world examples. “The Changing Face of Global Missions” is an informative and educational book that should be included in the library of every serious student of missions...
