Subversive mission is submission—to God and local leaders. Subversive mission offers a new way forward for outsiders called to crosscultural ministry by serving as humble alongsiders. Join Craig Greenfield on this inspiring journey in Asia and beyond as he rediscovers the fivefold missional gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher, and demonstrates how each of these must look radically different in a crosscultural context. Along the way, you'll discover your own missional type through the Missional Type Inventory and come face to face with the five most common pitfalls that Westerners face in crosscultural settings.

David Livingstone is primarily known as perhaps the most famous explorer of Africa, but he was so much more than that. He was a missionary and man of God who took the Gospel of Jesus Christ to some of the most dangerous, unreached, and rural places on earth.

This classic biography, originally published in 1912, tells his story in a powerful way. It doesn’t just share the great adventures of Dr. Livingstone, but it shows the tender, human side of a seemingly superhuman man.

Medders and Doug Logan, Jr. have decades of experience in leading churches and mentoring pastors, and here they outline six principles for cultivating a genuine evangelistic culture throughout your church.

What can I tell you about Missions to Mexico? M2M is a way of knowing, of experiencing life firsthand, of finding yourself and others on the road of discovery. It is living deeply and sucking out the all the marrow of life, as Thoreau told us. At the heart of this message are the interpersonal relationships that reveal the heart of our relationship with God.

Think about Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000: What if only the first three rows were fed, leaving the last rows untouched? Similarly, despite Jesus’ call to spread his message to the “ends of the Earth,” over a third of the world lacks access to the gospel. Mission efforts disproportionately prioritize people with gospel access while ignoring those without. A mere penny from every dollar spent on foreign missions reaches the ends of the earth. Kelley, writing in a way that makes a legal scholar jealous, brings us the facts, figures, and passion to expose the massive wrong with compelling evidence.

Leaving Western culture and their German home far behind, Amiira Ann and her husband, Chris, responded to the prompting of God to move to one of the most thoroughly Muslim cultures on earth, Yemen.

“Most of our earliest memories can be grounded in family and food. Loved ones gather around the kitchen while grandma cooks up her famous fried chicken or tacos. Little ones sneaking spoonsful of cake batter while Momma’s back is turned. Almost everyone can recall a favorite food memory from their childhood. My hope for this book is not only to bring to your table culinary delights from places you may never be able to go, but to share some of my special mission experiences with you as well.”

In this prototype miracle, care for the poor and marginalized, respectful presence, relational connectedness, empowerment and holistic healing in Jesus’ name coalesce, freeing the man to move through the Gate, into the company of those who had previously excluded him. Once inside, the apostles offer prophetic challenge, calling people to confession, repentance, and conversion.
