The
Western Church world is abuzz with talk of being missional. Church
leaders, conference speakers, and authors are weighing the merits of the
attractional church movement of the past few decades, and where they
find it lacking, prescribing changes in the way we need to approach our
cultures with the Gospel. There has been a consensus shift among many
churches, networks, and denominations to become more focused on mission.
The result is a renewed interest in reaching the lost in our cities and
around the world. The Church, in many places in the Western world, is
in fact returning to a biblical missional focus. Yet there is something
still to be addressed in the process: the how. For centuries, God has
called missionaries to cross cultures with the Gospel, and along the
way, they have developed the necessary skill-sets for a cultural
translation of the Good News. These skills need to be shared with the
rest of the Church in order to help them as well be effective
missionaries. Tradecraft for the Church on Mission does exactly that.
This book, in essence, pulls back the curtain on tools once accessible
only to full-time Christian workers moving overseas, and offers them to
anyone anywhere who desires to live missionally.
