Mission Frontiers 45, 3 (May–June 2023) and 45, 4 (July–August 2023)


The May–June 2023 issue of Mission Frontiers, published by the U.S. Center for World Mission, contains a number of articles devoted to the theme of ‘The Gospel Goes Digital’.


Here is the issue blurb, which sets the scene:


‘New inventions have always been met with some controversy and skepticism at first as believers wrestled with understanding the new technology and its biblical implications before adopting it to the glory of God. That process continues in our day at a breathtaking speed. We should seek to use every tool that science can provide to help spread the Gospel. But we cannot just sit back and hope that the scientific community will always use these new technologies wisely. The Church needs to be actively involved in guiding the application of new technologies from a biblical perspective.’

The July–August 2023 issue is devoted to the topic of ‘Mobilising the Church to Reach All Peoples’, with the blurb as follows:


Jesus’ last words to His disciples and to us in Matt. 28:18–20 were to go and make disciples of all nations (ethne/peoples), baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that Jesus has commanded us, which also includes this command. For 2,000 years, this command to make disciples should have been one of the first things taught to every new Jesus follower after they repented of their sins and put their faith in Jesus for salvation. But unfortunately, this command has, too often, been forgotten and ignored by the Church. This is why we still have over 7,000 unreached peoples according to Joshua Project, and why we still have a challenge of mobilizing the Church today.’
