Is it enough to love and serve them?
Can you win their trust without becoming one of them?
Can you be a missional Christian without a church?
This provocative book, based on a recently uncovered collection of 100-year-old letters from a famous pastor to his nephew, a missionary in China, will upend pretty much everyone’s assumptions about what it means to give witness to Christ.
The authour Pastor Blumhardt challenges us to find something of God in every person, to befriend people and lead them to faith without expecting them to become like us, and to discover where Christ is already at work in the world.
This is truly good news: No one on the planet is outside the love of God.
At a time when Christian mission has too often been reduced to social work or proselytism, this book invites us to reclaim the heart of Jesus’ great commission, quietly but confidently incarnating the love of Christ and trusting him to do the rest.
Chapters are:
Keep the kingdom in view
Avoid being religious
See how Christ is already at work
Remain among the people
Open wide your heart
Make God's love known
Show the Gospel
Allow the Spirit to work
Always hope.
