How to Flourish Spiritually and Economically in Tough Places

The Arabian Gulf—the wealthiest country in the world is located here, as is the world’s busiest airport.  Not many citizens are Christians. Not much religious conversion is allowed. Yet God''s grace is at work through migrant women who share God''s love with some of the country''s most powerful people. In this book, you will find: 

• primary research not available anywhere else, narrated in a highly readable style

• globalization, diasporas, and massive culture change

• Jesus women—maids, nurses, pastors—experiencing rape, jail, and the opportunity to mentor hundreds

• a guide for group Bible study and reflection at the end of each chapter These Gulf women’s stories, like those in the Bible, teach lessons that apply to us in many countries.

Linking . . . Blending . . . Intermixing with Divine Purpose

People are on the move. As individuals and people groups are constantly migrating, the unreached have become part of our communities. This reality provides local Christ-followers with the challenge and opportunity of navigating both the global diaspora and mixed ethnicities. 

A Hybrid World is the product of a global consultation of church and mission leaders who discussed the implications of hybridity in the mission of God. The contributors draw from their collective experiences and perspectives, explore emerging concepts and initiatives, and ground them in authoritative Scripture for application to the challenges that hybridity presents to global missions. 

This book honestly wrestles with the challenges of ethnic hybridity and ultimately encourages the global church to celebrate the opportunities that our sovereign and loving God provides for the world’s scattered people to be gathered to himself.

Hope and Hospitality for Migrating People  

Never have so many people left their homes and migrated to other parts of the world as we’ve seen in recent years. This phenomenon creates as many opportunities as challenges. We are witnessing a massive increase in urbanization, pluralization, multiculturalism, and interfaith dialogue. What are the implications for the church as it tries to reach the nations? 

Tides of Opportunity brings together experts from diverse backgrounds to consider the practical significance of this mass migration. The reasons for these population movements are as varied as the people. Sadiri Joy Tira explores several causes, like military conflict, economic hardship, and natural disasters. The contributors not only explain such trends but suggest possible ways to engage with diaspora neighbors. Through case studies, this volume also examines lesser-known dynamics, such as sex trafficking and the movement of immigrants to rural areas. 

This book challenges us to find more creative and integrated mission strategies for effectively reaching out to the various “peoples on the move” with the gospel. How will you respond to the tides of opportunity?
