Petals from a Flower Attracting a Bee: A Call from a Missionary God

Evangelical Muslim engagement in Eldoret, Kenya

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The international arena has become the theatre of war for bloody conflict between Christians and Muslims, with Western Kenya as a geo-political hotspot. Therefore, like petals to a bee is a topical and timely guide on engaging Muslims from a Christian stance, especially in Western Kenya. A thorough analysis unearths the typical misperceptions between faiths, and proposes correctives built on the belief that the church functions as an agent of God's mission in the world. The author cleverly uses the analogy of the 'high five' to weave together the five models of total mission. Before true engagement, certain crucial contact-points need to be taken into account. This understanding lays the foundation for a contemporary holistic approach for a balanced missionary ministry through an optimum spiritual life. This proposed paradigm shift for contemporary mission is driven by a biblically-based strategy for truthful engagement. It is a ground-breaking, popular guide that will empower those with missionary hearts to reach out with a plan.
