British mission agencies face a perfect storm of three different existential challenges to their existence and purpose. In the light of these challenges, agencies must ask whether they are viable and (more importantly) whether they are relevant.

This week I was privileged to talk David Smith about his former teacher, Professor Andrew Walls. I’ve already paid tribute to Professor Walls here, but David is far more qualified than I am to talk about the impact of his life and work.
In the conversation David mentions his own book on Lament, Stumbling Toward Zion, which I reviewed here.
Books by Andrew Walls:
- The Cross-Cultural Process in Christian History
- The Missionary Movement in Christian History
- Crossing Cultural Frontiers: Studies in the History of World Christianity
In the interview, David referred to Andrew Walls’ essay, the Gospel as Prisoner and Liberator of Culture which can be downloaded here.
Whether you agree with him or not on a variety of issues, Andrew Walls is the most important Christian writer of the last fifty years. In direct contrast to much Western Christian literature his focus is global and it points to the future. In an increasingly multicultural world, Christian leaders need to engage with him.

This is the third in my series of videos on the local church and God’s world wide movement. In this one I discuss four steps that a church needs to follow when getting involved in what God is doing worldwide. Some of the suggestions might surprise you.
Steve Schirmer is the founder and president of Silk Road Catalyst and is one of the most refreshing thinkers on the mission scene.
In this video he talks about his journey in mission and his conviction that we need to rethink our approach to mission in a changing world.

This video and podcast explore the reasons why a local church should have a strategy for involvement in God’s world wide movement and what such a strategy should look like. The Global Connections document on church to church partnerships which is referenced in the talk can be found here.
