Do you know how to be a missionary?
Author Doug Logan pastors in
Camden, NJ, one of the country s most dangerous cities. His neighbors
include drug dealers, gang members, the working class, and the
unemployed all image bearers, all beloved in God s sight, and all in
need of Jesus. And in their midst is Doug learning their needs, making
himself available, and finding more opportunities to proclaim Jesus than
he can even handle.
In"On the Block," Doug encourages us to do the
same, whether our block is in a city, suburb, or farming community.
Using Scripture and personal stories, he unfolds a concept he calls
incarnational instrumentality, exploring the nature of missions
according to the Bible. He covers topics like:
- God s heart for missions
- Barriers to living missionally (especially in the urban context)
- Biblical reasons for urgency
- The essential nature of gospel engagement
- Key strategies for the harvest
If
you are a pastor trying to strengthen the missional DNA of your church,
or a Christian looking to develop your own missional engagement,
then"On the Block"is for you. It will train readers in becoming more
effective and confident evangelists, wherever God has them.
