These include the growth of short-term service, the multiplication of mission organizations, local churches sending missionaries without an agency, and the internationalization of missions. It is crucial in the midst of such change that we not lose connection with the New Testament model of the missionary apostles. Apostles, now commonly called missionaries, are God's gift for the initial planting phase of the church among every people, to the end of the age. This unique church-planting role is the forgotten foundation of the church. Much of the ineffectiveness in missions is due to our attempts to build Christ's church on a different foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will examine five critical questions from the perspective of biblical scholarship, history, and contemporary experience: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy are missions-minded Evangelicals reluctant to identify missionaries as apostles, considering that the two words have the same root meaning?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow is apostolos used in the New Testament, and specifically, is it sometimes used as a designation for missionaries?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow should we conceptualize an ongoing role for missionary apostles that does not detract from the crucial, unique role of the original Apostles?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat ministry pattern does the New Testament record from the lives of the early missionary apostles?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow should an awareness of missionary apostles guide our mission efforts today?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724828151904,"sku":"9781973651857","price":32.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/dFordWx2MnJXRzRZVzErbUc5SlF2Zz09.webp?v=1777319907","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ongoing-role-of-apostles-in-missions-the-forgotten-foundation-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
