They Can Go, But will we Send Them?


Revolution in World Mission, by K.P. Yohannan

This is the best free book I've read all year.

Dr. Yohannan presents his case for supporting native missionaries in Asia. A native of India himself, he tells interesting stories from his own missionary experience, including the inspiring ways that God has helped him through difficult times in his life.

Dr. Yohannan points out something that most of us Westerners don't realize--white men with Pith hat are not the only ones God uses to spread the Gospel overseas. We are now living in the "Third Age," so to say, of missions.

The first age began with the apostles. The second involved the colonial missionaries like Hudson Taylor and William Carey.

But something drastic happened to missions as a result of World War II; the colonies were separated from their mother countries, resulting in resistance to attempts to send Western Missionaries to the Third World.

In this book, Dr. Yohannan is trying to make people aware of this cultural paradigm shift. He is not, however, against the work of traditional western missionaries.

The missionaries of Gospel for Asia are used to living in the Asia culture--cheaply (living on
about $120 a month). They are making a great impact for the sake of the Gospel in Asia.

This book isn't hard to read, and reads fast. Best of all, it's free! Click here to request your own free copy. It's a book must-read for anyone who has a heart for spreading the Gospel around the world.

I've read "Revolution In World Missions" before and was blown away by the book. I've since ordered a free copy and posted an advertisement on my blogsite for people to order theirs. Shalom and God bless!
