There is a deepening crisis in mission as practiced by North American congregations. Many mission activities are more effective at satisfying church members than making a lasting difference, producing what's too often consumer-oriented "selfie mission." Too much effort is based on colonial-era assumptions of mission launched from a position of power. These practices are not just ineffective-they deviate from mission in the way of Jesus. Hunter Farrell and Bala Khyllep want to help free congregational mission from harmful cultural forces so churches can better partner with God's work in the world. They invite leaders to lay the foundation for more faithful and effective missions with three core elements:
- a Christ-centered theology of mission rooted in companionship
- an appetite and competence to engage across differences with cultural humility
- insights and strategies to accompany local and global neighbors in co-development
Industry Reviews
"Hunter Farrell and Bala Khyllep bring decades of hands-on mission experience to the urgent task of reframing congregational mission. This book rejects 'selfie mission' and affirms that God is calling North American Christians to walk alongside others as companions in Christ. I highly recommend this book for classroom use. It is refreshing and accessible. Most important, it is full of faithful wisdom."
Dana L. Robert, Boston University School of Theology, author of Faithful Friendships: Embracing Diversity in Christian Community
ï»"Hunter Farrell and Balajiedlang Khyllep have a message for congregational mission leaders: what you do matters. In fact, when mission wanes, the very identity of the church comes into question. The authors provide fresh theological insights for mission as well as practical tools to help God's people recalibrate their ability to participate fully in what God is doing in the world."
Al Tizon, associate affiliate professor of missional and global leadership at North Park Theological Seminary
