In Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew records Jesus' final words to His disciples, these verses have become known as “The Great Commission.” Since then, the gift of followers of Christ's Great Commission has left their own culture to engage another with the saving message of the Gospel. Numerous books, articles and blogs have been written on the topic of world evangelism or missions. One such book on missions is titled “The Changing Face of World Missions: Engaging Contemporary Issues and Trends”, this book was written by Michael Pocock, Gailyn Van Rheenen, and Douglas McConnell. All three men are experts in the field of missions; the writers have served overseas and are currently busy equipping the next generation through teaching in Dallas and at Fuller Theological Seminary. The authors bring to their particular chapters a legacy of personal and academic excellence, as well as a passion for taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. The balance between academia and real-world application makes "The Changing Face of World Missions" an informative and exciting read. “The Changing Face of World Missions” attempts to educate readers and evaluate some trends that are occurring around the world in the area of ​​missions. The book is divided into three sections; which are the global context of missions, the missionary context and the strategic context. The authors describe the chapters by saying: “(t)he global context describes major trends in the world we operate in; the missionary context concerns the internal tendencies of the body of Christ and the missionary community; and the strategic context focuses on trends of a strategic or procedural nature” (14). The thesis of the book can be found on page twelve where the authors and...... half of the paper...... the book needs a chapter where all the topics and information can be summarized. My eyes were opened in section two to the work of the gospel in other cultures. I would apply the lessons learned through the book by focusing on hospitality, reaching out to internationals here in America by inviting them to my home and sharing a meal with internationals. I will also apply principles related to the use of money and the need to do things in ministry that are reproducible by local believers. I would recommend this book to serious students of missions by emphasizing the importance of case studies that allow people interested in missions to apply concepts within real-world examples. “The Changing Face of World Missions” is an informative and educational book that should be on the shelf of every serious student of missions.
