Tell all the world - church based mission for the 21st century

'World mission is someone else's job! Leave it to the specialists, the agencies, and let's concentrate on reaching our local community around our church.' Sadly, that is often how christians think about cross-cultural mission.  But God has other plans for your church.  God's plan as set out in Scripture is to put the local church at the heart of world mission.  The biblical pattern is for local churches to send out missionaries, and for missionaries to be answerable to the local churches that send and support them.  This was the conviction that changed Grace Baptist Mission into a church-based mission back in the 1960s and 70s.  To celebrate GBM's 150th anniversary, Tell All The World has been put together to explore the biblical principles of mission, to apply them to a wide range of different cultures, and to show them church-based mission work in practice. Allow this book to ignite your passion to tell all the world of Jesus!

This is a very helpful guide regarding information and material for prayer about the world being impacted by this mission, filled with hope and fraught with challenges, and yet ever ripe for the everlasting gospel.  Read it, pray, and do all you can to support these church-planting ventures.  Michael Haykin, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

150 years of faithful engagement and cross-cultural mission is something worth celebrating! GBM believes that God calls people to be missionaries and local churches send them and take care of them.  The book... challenges us as church leaders and christians to really engage with world mission in the 21st century.  The chapter about reaching Arab people and the last chapter written by Matthew Gamston are especially helpful.  I pray that this book will stir a passion in the hearts of many christians to go and tell all the world.  Peter Milsom, Director of UFM Worldwide and Affinity
