Lon Allison's article "A GPS for Global Mission" from Lausanne World Pulse sums up well the current questions and issues relevant to the global changes underway in the church. At this stage, I think questions are more helpful than anything. Here are four that Dr. Allison raises,

1. Since the demographic shift to the Global South is at hand, how do Western mission agencies and churches respond?
2. Resources, both financial and human, have, in general, not shifted. When should they? More importantly, how should they?
3. How does the Church in the West welcome missionaries from the Global South and East to re-evangelize our continents?
4. What role is there for ongoing mission to the Global South and East from the West?

These ought to keep us thinking for quite some time. They will be key in the discussion that takes place at the 2010 Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Cape Town, South Africa.

Please pray for John Piper who will be speaking at the event and for the Desiring God team who will be traveling there next year.

Twenty years ago, Bethlehem Baptist Church sent out a missionary family with Arab World Ministries. The relationship with AWM continued when in 2003 John Piper spoke at the AWM conference and highlighted the joy of serving God in missions.

For the past few years, Desiring God has been collaborating on a project to translate Piper sermons into Arabic for free online access. Now the sermon series Desiring God, preached back in the early 80’s is available both here at DG and through AWM’s Arabic-language outreach websites.

AWM began 128 years ago in Algeria and today has ministry teams throughout the Arab world. They employ two strategies: church planting through evangelism and discipleship, and mass media outreach through literature, radio, TV, and the Internet.

The interactive, relational media of their web ministry engages, evangelizes, and disciples young adults. These online ministries include mentoring, blogs, chat rooms, podcasts, television series, and an online magazine.

Desiring God and Arab World Ministries are dreaming about additional translation projects. This region of the world remains one of the least reached. Please pray for more ministry outreach among the Arab peoples.

While Ryan and his family prepared for long-term missions, he graciously gave his time as a volunteer for DG International Outreach. He brought tremendous skill and integrity to his work which bore wonderful fruit including this helpful post.

As our family prepares to move overseas, we sometimes encounter this question in one form or another: 

Is the Western missionary model still legitimate?” 

The question stems from a variety of concerns and perspectives, but our basic answer must be “yes.”  Even with the high cost of sending and recent shifts in the global Church, it is still strategic and fitting for Western missionaries to cross geographical and linguistic boundaries in the pursuit of new worshipers of Jesus. 

Here is why I think so:

1. God wants his name to be great in every place as well as among every people. 

Though missiologists in the past couple of decades have rightly emphasized the importance of unreached people groups ("nations") as the focus of the Great Commission, there are a number of texts which seem to require a geographic and not exclusively an ethnic focus (e.g. Malachi 1:11). 

The Great Commission cannot be fulfilled by only reaching the unreached who migrate to America, or Christ doesn’t receive the glory he deserves.

2.  There are still hundreds of remote peoples who haven’t heard the gospel.

Many Unreached peoples are unrepresented in reached cities. In these cases, someone is going to have to cross cultural and geographic boundaries to deliver the message in the flesh.

3. Too little money is given to missions, not too much. 

God has blessed this nation with an abundance of resources, yet a staggeringly low percentage of Christian spending is channeled toward missions, especially missions to the unreached. 

When God’s people here in America are biblically calibrated, there are plenty of resources both to continue sending workers from the West, and to support indigenous pastors and church planters.

4. In many cases, the Church in the West has something to offer. 

With a long history of Christian thought, abundant resources, and relative lack of persecution, the Western Church can often make a contribution in places where the Church is younger and less grounded. 

Just as it would be arrogant to think that we know it all and have no need of the global Church, it would be arrogant to sit on our wealth of resources, history, and doctrinal development rather than make it accessible to the world.

5. Crossing cultures is a fitting means for the message. 

When Christians from more privileged and dominant-language cultures (such as America), set aside their comforts, rights, and security in order to identify with and minister to people of lesser-privileged cultures and more obscure languages, something powerful and gospel-adorning is communicated. 

To wrap up our posts from China, we’ve asked our friend and guide during this trip to describe the activities of our day and point you to a valuable online source of information on China.

*               *               *

As a friend of DG, and someone who has lived and worked in this great land for 20+ years, I have had the privilege of playing host to the team this week. I absolutely love showing people around and helping them to get a glimpse of what God is doing here.

We spent a good part of the day in tourist mode—shopping, eating great food, and visiting the Temple of Heaven. This is where the emperors of old, who were regarded as Heaven’s representative on earth, came once a year to make sacrifices and offer prayers on behalf of the people. 

We also visited with a friend of mine who runs a tea house and heard amazing stories of how God is using her and her tea house as a launching pad for spreading the Good News.

As the DG team's time in Beijing is winding down, our thoughts are now turning toward ways in which they can stay informed about the Chinese Church and dig deeper into the challenges and opportunities she faces. 

My main recommendation is a quarterly called the ChinaSource Journal. ChinaSource is a California-based think-tank dedicated to providing balanced perspectives and analysis on the Chinese Church. 

It's a subscription publication, but they have graciously made a special offer for DG readers. For the next two weeks, you may download the current issue for free. The theme of this issue is leadership development, and it looks at new patterns and trends in the development of Chinese church leaders. 

To quote the editor of the journal:  “Chinese church leaders are changing their strategies. Is the global church ready?” 

We began the third day of our China vision trip by viewing some of the historical and cultural sites of this amazing nation. It has been a joy to learn about this great land, its history, and its people.

We started off at Tiananmen Square (literally, Gate of Heavenly Peace), the symbolic center of the nation. We then journeyed north to the massive gate-laden compound called the Forbidden City, which served as the home of China’s emperors from the 1400’s to the 1920’s. (The last emperor of China abdicated in 1912, but was allowed to live there until 1924.)  

In the evening, we continued our crash course on the current state of Christianity in China, fellowshipping and learning from some dear brothers about the victories and challenges stemming from the unprecedented growth of the Chinese church.

We have learned many things this week, yet in many ways are more confused. In preparation for this trip we read the book “China Road,” by Rob Gifford and one of his quotes has been rung true:  “If you’re not confused you’re not paying attention.” My respect and appreciation for the leaders who maneuver these complex situations and relationships grows day by day.

Another highlight yesterday was learning about a company called Baojiayin, a book distribution center delivering legally published books all over China. As we walked into their distribution center we saw stacks and stacks of newly published books like Mere Christianity, Theology of the Reformers, and Through the Gates of Splendor. It was great to meet the staff and hear their vision of helping Chinese believers access encouraging Christian literature. 

If you have friends in China please direct them to Baojiayin to see what books are available. Books can be ordered and delivered anywhere in the country for less than $1.

One of the books they sell is a recently-published bilingual version of The Big Picture Story Bible. That such a book has been approved for publication and distribution in China is truly amazing.  If you would like to help get copies of these books into the hands of Chinese orphans, please contact them.

Yesterday we visited a Christian bookstore here in China and came across a title you might recognize. So for an update on the DG team in Beijing, here’s an image from the second day.

You may be surprised to find out that Christian books can be legally published and distributed inside mainland China.

We spent most our day discussing Christian publishing in China and getting an update on current projects involving translation of DG resources into Simplified Chinese for publication and for the web.

Pray with us that God will assist us in these projects and that they will bear fruit for the church in China.

DG International Outreach has developed a wonderful partnership in the past few years with several key ministries that focus on Russian-speaking people groups. 

One of these ministries is Samara Preachers’ Institute and Theological Seminary. This seminary is part of a network of schools associated with The Master's Academy International, an ever-expanding ministry to educate pastors to love the Scripture and preach it faithfully in the context of their own cultures. They have locations in 15 countries, and since 2000 the seminary in Samara has graduated about 250 students, many of whom have continued into leadership across Russia.

In October of this year, John Piper will be visiting Samara, along with a team from Desiring God. He will be teaching a seminar on pastoral leadership for national church leaders and students in the region. We are praying that God will bring abundant fruit from this trip. 

The Institute and DG-International Outreach both partner with In Lumine, a publishing company located in Ukraine. Much of their work consists of translating resources into Russian and distributing them at a low cost. Many of their books go to the seminary students at TMAI.

So far they have translated five books by John Piper, the latest of these being Don't Waste Your Life. They are currently in the process of translating Christian Beliefs by Wayne Grudem.

Although much progress has been made, we encourage your involvement in prayer and possible financial support of the students in Samara. Some points for prayer:

• Pray that the leadership of the seminary would have great wisdom in the decisions they make and strength in completing the daily tasks that they face.
• Pray that the seminary students would have perseverance in their studies and courage to preach the Word of God boldly. 
• Pray that the seminary graduates would be faithful to "preach the word; to be prepared in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2).  Pray that they would seek after holiness and proclaim the truth faithfully, accurately, and fervently.
• Pray In Lumine that God would open doors of opportunity to publish resources that will strengthen Russian-speaking church leaders and believers.
• Pray that the believers in Russia would be built up and strengthened in God's Word.  Pray also that they would be obedient to the Scripture's call to personal holiness and to the Great Commission.
• Pray that Russian non-believers would hear the gospel and repent, turning to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. 

Many of you are probably familiar with the devastating cyclone that hit Myanmar roughly a year ago. Tens of thousands were killed or displaced by this disaster. Many governments and Christian NGO’s responded with aid.

A lesser-known crisis is currently bringing hardship to the Burmese in a remote region of this country. Beginning in July 2008, a famine was caused by a phenomenon known as “mautam.”

Every 50 years flowering bamboo trees produce a fruit that nourishes the rat population, causing it to explode in numbers. These rats have been decimating farmlands, destroying crops such as rice and maize, the staple foods of the region. Now potentially 200,000 people face starvation. PBS has done an excellent documentary describing the situation while the Burmese government is doing little to help its own people.

Our friends at Food for the Hungry are currently working to provide relief assistance for the families in this region. God has given them great connections with local churches, but they are still working to raise more than $300,000 for this project.

The director of the program writes from the field,

[The victims] are struggling with God's good and sufficient help to do what they can to contribute to their own survival…These funds will go to the remote areas that are stranded in isolation. The volunteers look forward to the joy of delivering assistance where no others go. They will also take with them nutritional quick start gardening manuals with methods to rescue families under stress, and blessings from those who faithfully pray for them.

Desiring God is contributing to this relief effort and would like to encourage you to consider joining us. Food for the Hungry has a site you can visit in order to participate. Please pray for the Burmese, the country of Myanmar, and the workers in the field.

We thought it might be helpful to collect all the posts from this week's short-term missions blog series in one place:

• Rethinking Short-Term Missions
• The Effect of Short-Term Missions on Poverty
• We Need Them at Least as Much as They Need Us
• Teaching as a Short-Term Missions Strategy
• The Importance of Doing Missions as Servants

We received a lot of good feedback from readers including this:

I've seen some disturbing trends form…. Volunteers are now dictating to the field what they will and won't be doing on their trip instead of being instructed by the field as to what is needed. We missionaries have allowed this…usually under pressure from sending or supporting agencies for an increase in volunteer activity.  

The short-term mission trip has become sort of a spiritual merit badge that churches collect…I've actually had leaders, on several occasions, tell me my projects weren't exciting or flashy enough. On the flip side, the teams that come willing to do whatever and are ready to share their faith blow my socks off in the way they glorify Christ during the span of 5 or 6 days.

I pray that we can put the short-term mission trip back into the proper perspective because they can be such wonderful tools for advancing the Kingdom. I hope a lot of leaders will…be challenged and energized to make their short-term mission trip everything it can be for Christ and the sake of the gospel.

To finish our series on short-term missions, we go to “Seven Principles for Highly Effective Short-Term Missions” by Mike Stachura of Operation Mobilization. He points us toward the importance of a Christ-like attitude as we move out to serve those in need.

Nothing is more damaging to cross-cultural missions, short-term or long-term, than a patronizing, paternalistic attitude.  Paul came determined not to present himself, but Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  As for Paul, he wanted to be known as Christ's bondservant. A servant's spirit starts in the home church or group with a willingness to do whatever is asked. It is reflected in the team life where all members are willing to take their share of the workload. It means esteeming others, particularly national Christian workers, as better than ourselves.

As we prepare to go and serve this summer, let’s humble ourselves and ask the Lord to change our hearts as we meditate on his sacrifice for us.

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:3-8)

May God grant you fruitful and joyful service in short-term missions!

Day four in our series on short-term missions. David Livermore has written a book on this topic that we highly recommend, Serving with Eyes Wide Open: Doing Short-Term Missions with Cultural Intelligence.

In "American or American’t: A Critical Analysis of Western Training to the World," he addresses a  particular application of the short-term missions strategy: Teaching.

Some say that globally 85% of pastors have had little to no theological training whatsoever. Here at DG International Outreach, we are partnering with an increasing number of ministries using an informal, short-term approach for training pastors in developing nations.

David has some provocative analysis aimed to make us more aware of our cultural blind sides. This longer article is essential reading if you are focused on theological training of church leaders in developing countries.

Indigenous expressions of Christ’s Church exist in every geopolitical nation of the world. The entrepreneurial drive of American culture infiltrates our missions endeavors and therefore spills over into our cross-cultural leadership development initiatives. When we hear about the relentless growth of the global church, we’re inspired to bring our value-added contributions. But while the North American pastors consistently talked about urgency, the nationals consistently talked about the importance of process and of taking time to grow in relationship before developing a strategy for the kinds of collaborative exchanges that are truly needed for mutual benefit.

On day three of our series on short-term missions, we turn to Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making, for an article with some unique twists, "Unexpected Global Lessons: How Short-term Mission Is Becoming a Two-way Street."

[T]he whole apparatus of preparation for short-term trips assumes that the reason Americans invest their time and treasure is to do something for others—to check off a list of activities that will supposedly help advance the gospel. In fact, it is the rare short-term team (with the notable, partial exception of medical and dental missions) that brings such unique skills and cross-cultural sensitivity that they can make a net contribution in their brief visit. Our counterparts in the developing world are more resourceful than we imagine—and we need them at least as much as they need us.

For day two in our series on short-term missions, we feature two articles by the Chalmers Center for Economic Development. Their vision is to train the church worldwide to minister holistically to the poor without creating dependency.

The article, "Short-Term Missions Can Create a Long-Term Mess," lays out the challenges and implications of how we serve the poor.

The approach of most short-term mission teams seems to be to do things to the people instead of with the people. This approach exacerbates the feelings of inferiority that already paralyze the poor in my country and the feelings of superiority that often characterize those of us from wealthy countries. This dynamic is particularly problematic here. The government and the church have such a long history of paternalism that the people often believe they cannot do anything without the help of money and resources from others.

"Doing Short-Terms Missions Without Doing Long-Term Harm" reinforces this by showing that to authentically serve the poor we need to examine our mindset.

STM trips can play a positive role in the lives of all those involved, but a different paradigm is needed. Rather than going as “doers,” some powerful dynamics can be unleashed if STM teams go as “learners” from the poor or as “co-learners” with the poor.

Deciding what role a short-term team can effectively play is a difficult task. The staff at Chalmers recommends asking questions like these before the team even leaves:

• What is the nature of poverty?
• What does it take to alleviate poverty?
• What is God already doing in this community?
• Who are my brothers and sisters there? What issues are they facing?
• How does this trip fit into the overall picture?

This week we are going to do a 5-part series on missions trips.

The last few decades have witnessed explosive growth in short-term missions as a strategy of the Western church for spreading the Gospel and serving the poor. Your church is probably sending teams out this summer.

As we approach this season, we want to direct your attention to articles that will challenge your assumptions about what it means to do short-term missions well. Many of us have made significant mistakes in the past, and some damage has likely been done. Thank God for his patience with us.

Please don’t receive these challenging articles as admonitions to drop short-term missions as a strategy. Rather, use them to think carefully and prayerfully about how your team should approach this task in a way that will honor the Lord and serve the cause of expanding the Kingdom.

Over the next four days, we will feature articles from some leaders who regularly address this topic.

We’ll start with a few key questions answered by John Piper.

• Are short-term mission trips worth doing? 
• Who should consider going on short-term missions trips?
• What is the vision for short-term missions at your church?

The Christians in India’s east coast region of Orissa, largely the Dalit, are still struggling to recover from the devastating anti-Christian violence that occurred in 2008.

During the sudden attacks from August through October, about 54,000 Christians were displaced from their homes. Only a few thousand have been able to return.

Most of the violence was in the Kandhamal District where about 3,000 people are still in government relief camps. Some victims have moved out of the state to start new lives, but the majority still live in tents only a short distance from their former homes.

As the local government continues to downplay the seriousness of the attacks and provides minimal support, organizations like All India Christian Counsel (AICC) are stepping in to help with the many needs of Christians in the area.

AICC is involved in rebuilding homes and churches, helping with aide in the camps, and helping support the widows and orphans of pastors who were killed. They are also helping to pursue justice and peace for those who were victimized.

The number of those affected by the violence is staggering, and it is evident that our brothers and sisters in Orissa are still in much need of prayer and support. Please remember to pray with us for the peace and reconciliation of these Christians.

You can help the cause of AICC by donating through Dalit Freedom Network under Orissa Relief Fund.

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence. (Psalm 140:12-13)

As an example of how God is stirring up former "receiving" nations into missionary-sending nations, Joy to the World Ministries (JTW) of Malawi is hosting its second annual Chosen Generation Missions Conference, July 2-5.

This conference will be held on the beautiful campus of the African Bible College in Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. Its purpose is to equip and mobilize the young people of Malawi and neighboring nations to play a role in seeing God's name hallowed in southern Africa and across the planet.

The founder of JTW, Fletcher Matandika, issues this invitation:

If you would like to hear from others who have also been impacted and gripped by the glory of the Lord, please join us for the second Chosen Generation Missions Conference.  My prayer for us all is that we would see the glory of God afresh each day and worship Him with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength. Once we experience the glory of the Lord ourselves, we will be better able to commit ourselves to taking it to the ends of the earth.

In an interview with one of our favorite leaders in the cause of missions, George Verwer, he says:

Right now with the present global financial crisis we need to pray even more for the release of funds. We don’t want to have to pull back at this time.… [W]e need to be pro-active in getting new people involved in this vision. I’m sure some of the finance will then come and help us do what God has put on our hearts.

Desiring God International Outreach is partnering with Operation Mobilization by providing resources for the two OM ships. Piper books are given out during pastors conferences that are held on board when Logos Hope and Doulos pull into strategic ports around the world.

I returned recently from Cameroon, West Africa. This was my second time as part of a team distributing wheelchairs, a joint project of Bethlehem Baptist and Joni and Friends.

We went in the name of Jesus. We know that, though it is a good thing to be lifted up into a wheelchair, it is not enough. We pray that the people we met will trust in Jesus, our Savior and the son of God who “sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety” (Job 5:11).

Desiring God’s International Outreach became a partner in that prayer through the donation of books, most of which were given in gratitude to the Cameroonian volunteers and pastors who worked alongside us. A book is a precious gift to a person with little income, but great hunger for God.

Some received books in English.

Some received French translations.

And children received a copy of my book, Most of All, Jesus Loves You.

International Outreach, I bring you greetings from Cameroon. Children and parents, pastors and church leaders, staff and volunteers at Christian ministries to the disabled send you hearty thanks and blessing.
