Mission in Context: Now, Then and Next
By Rose Dowsett.
“In the midst of so much change, seemingly at an ever-accelerating pace, are there continuing and unchanging realities?”
Once, travel was an expensive and arduous endeavour. Today skies are filled with criss-crossing planes, and opportunities for mission look entirely different. Mission in Context considers how shifting cultures, technologies, and opportunities have shaped mission in recent decades — and asks what, if anything, has stayed the same.
Rose explores the individual’s role in God’s global mission today and challenges us to consider what we might learn from other cultures. She uncovers new mission opportunities on your doorstep, in your workplace, and even on your phone — and examines authentic discipleship in a world of instant communication.
From the roles of local churches and mission agencies to the dimensions of mission across generations, Rose dives deep into how these have changed over time. Yet scattered throughout the book, and what remains an unchanging reason for mission, is the gospel — the foundation that unites and anchors mission as God’s unchanging commission.
What you’ll learn:
- How technology and globalisation have reshaped the landscape of mission.
- The individual believer’s place within God’s global purposes today.
- What the church in the Global South can teach the Western church.
- Mission opportunities hiding in everyday life — your street, your office, your screen.
- The enduring role of local churches and mission agencies like OMF.
- Why the gospel remains the constant anchor of all mission work.
