Movements that Change the World is about to be released in Brazil (Portuguese). No details yet. I’m excited. Brazil is one of growing powerhouses of world mission. Still looking for a (Latin American) Spanish publisher.

Tank you Jesus!
27 August, 2011 – 4:16 AM
Jeff Sundell just sent me this photo of a front yard baptism of a new believer. It’s driving me nuts because he didn’t tell me the story behind it. On the other hand if you look at the image long enough it will tell its own story. We spend far too much time talking about [...]
Church in the community
25 August, 2011 – 12:33 AM
Andy Evans is one of the experts I consult from time to time. He hasn’t written any books. He isn’t invited to address conferences. He doesn’t lead a mega church or a cool church. Andy is an ordinary guy doing extraordinary things like connecting with people in his community, sharing the gospel, making disciples and [...]
Mission control, we have a problem
18 August, 2011 – 11:34 PM
I’ve been away for the last two weeks. The trip gave me the opportunity to bump into a whole range of people engaged or thinking about overseas missions. They are all good people with a heart to serve God. They all hope their ministry will result in new disciples and new churches. Some of their [...]
Chill winds blow over the Arab spring
9 August, 2011 – 9:36 PM
Greg Sheridan forecasts a gloomy future for the Arab spring. Last week there was a demonstration in Cairo by many thousands of Islamists. The Egyptian economy is in free fall. The latest polls show the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots would score spectacularly well in a parliamentary election In Tunisia, the economy is in trouble [...]
It can happen here, if we have the humility to learn, and the courage to act.

“It won’t work here.” is the most common response whenever I tell a story of what God is doing. It doesn’t matter if the story comes from Nairobi, Sydney, Glasgow, or the third century AD. It doesn’t matter if the hearer lives in the next suburb, or half way around the world. “It’s not going [...]
Reachout 2011
6 August, 2011 – 2:02 AM
I’m on the road for the next two weeks. I’ll be running a workshop on “Multiplying disciples and churches” at the Reachout missions conference, August 13-14. The location is Katoomba in the beautiful Blue Mountains outside Sydney.
Here we go again
6 August, 2011 – 1:02 AM
Who knows what is going to happen with the world economy. There is one economist who has it figured. The problem is we don’t know which one. So what if our model of mission—domestic and international—is based on the continuing prosperity of the West, especially of the US? What happens if the US dollar keeps [...]
It won’t work here!
5 August, 2011 – 4:37 PM
Earlier this year I traveled to Orlando Florida to run a workshop on church planting movements. That’s where I met Neil Perry. Neil was the pastor of a growing church who found himself preoccupied with “butts on seats” rather than making disciples. Enter Jeff Sundell who had spent ten years in India and Nepal learning [...]
