These are just some of the myths that seem to have arisen in relation to the church's role in world mission. Churches Going Global is a book of stories. Stories of churches that have not been held back by these myths but moved off into a new era of global mission, getting directly involved themselves. It is now widely recognised that we are entering a time of fundamental change.

Stories of how the local church is responding to the challenges of globalisation.

The church's role in world mission is to send their people and money to mission agencies - right?



Churches that try to get involved directly in mission in another country are bound to get it wrong and make all sorts of mistakes.



Cross-cultural church-to-church partnerships will always end in tears.



These are just some of the myths that seem to have arisen in relation to the church's role in world mission. Churches Going Global is a book of stories. Stories of churches that have not been held back by these myths but moved off into a new era of global mission, getting directly involved themselves. It is now widely recognised that we are entering a time of fundamental change.



In the first book in the Connect! series, Tim Jeffery and Steve Chalke showed how the massive changes happening in the world today are opening up new opportunities for every church to have a real and dynamic role in global mission. This book contains real life stories - warts and all - that put flesh on the bones of this new era. As so many of the stories illustrate, if you want to breathe life into your church - go global! This book will inspire and encourage you to think again about the role of your church in global mission and offer you a wealth of new ideas.
