A Challenge to the Remnant: Designing Our Mission Strategy to Impact the Real World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988813267)

In this informative and inspirational volume, Dr. Ruthven Roy has presented three very powerful concepts that ignite and transform the mission practice of the people of God into a powerful, unstoppable force in our present, God-avoiding world.

• The Strategic Mission/Ministry Planning Process is a very useful tool to guide the local church or larger organization in achieving its mission and ministry objectives and goals.
• Mission/Ministry from Outside In (instead of Inside Out) provokes church practitioners to suspend internal perceptions, preoccupations and prejudices, and initiate mission/ministry operations that are driven by the spiritual, social and material needs of their targeted audience and not predominantly by those of the church organization.
• Network Discipling is a revolutionary distribution idea for exponentially multiplying fruit-bearing disciples throughout the believing community.

Although this book addresses mission/ministry challenges from an Adventist worldview, the above concepts are adaptable to any Christian organization that are in earnest in reaching lost humanity for the Kingdom of God. The reader must ALWAYS keep in mind that mission/ministry is God's enterprise and Jesus Christ is its Dynamic Center, who must NEVER be substituted by anything or anyone else. Consequently, following Jesus' lead the only way to attract the Divine endorsement that will crown every mission/ministry effort with resounding success.
