SUPPORT RAISING

Friend Raising
Many Christians considering missionary service are more fearful of support raising than of being martyred on the mission field. Many, after having responded to God's call to missionary service, have struggled unsuccessfully to raise and maintain adequate support. However, thousands of others stand securely in God's provision, proving God over and over and finding Him faithful. "Friend Raising brings together God's plan for missions support with principles proven in the field. The book focuses on the practical pillars of lasting support raising: intimacy in relationships, interdependence, mutual love and sharing, bearing one another's burdens, generosity, communication, and prayer with promises. In a world swamped by fund-raising hype and gimmicks, Betty Barnett presents a refreshing biblical alternative based on relationship.

HOW TO COPE CROSS CULTURALLY

Thriving In Another Culture
Contains clear guidelines for Christians intending to live and serve effectively in another culture. It is suitable for short term workers, ‘tentmakers' and as a helpful reference for missionaries already in the field. Invaluable also for those involved in selecting, sending and caring for missionaries. The clear language makes it a useful text for those to whom English is a second language.

RE-ENTRY

Burn Up or Splash Down
Just like a space shuttle struggles and strains to re-enter the earth's atmosphere, so those returning from living overseas can find themselves confused and in a state of panic at coming "home." While people anticipate that going overseas will require major changes in their lifestyles and thinking, few anticipate the difficulties they will face upon return.

Re-Entry
Essential teaching for every short- and long-term outreach participant and every church and mission agency that sends them.
Peter Jordan's vital, insightful teaching on the challenges and opportunities that await returning missionaries makes this essential reading for everyone involved in missions. A missions "must-read"!

MISSION BIOGRAPHIES


My Seventh Monsoon
The seventh monsoon was the hardest of them all. I sat on the back porch of our Himalayan home and stared as the rain streamed down all around me. I had never felt so hemmed in by the constant rain, by the effects of the civil war and by the demands of home-school. As I sat there and listened to the pounding on our tin roof, I wondered whether I would make it through. I wondered whether I would cope with another 120 days of rain. And in doing so, I began to long for another season

No Ordinary View
The Himalayan view from our back porch was normally breathtaking but that day I sat there and wondered. Ten years of civil war, a deteriorating health system, an economic crisis and a political stalemate. It was a background of hopelessness for the lives of our Nepali friends and the community that we lived in. In such a setting of pain and darkness, how could God reveal his nature? And how could he call me by name? I wasn't sure. I didn't think it was possible.

Peace Child
In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child told their unforgettable story of living among head-hunting cannibals who valued treachery through "fattening" victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The "peace child" became the secret to unlocking a value system that existed through generations over centuries, possibly millenniums, of time. This new edition of Peace Child will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this unforgettable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.

Through Gates of Splendour
Missionary history will never let us forget the five young men savagely martyred by Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador as they attempted to reach them with the Word of God. Elisabeth Elliot records here the story of their courage in the face of extreme danger; The challenge of their expendability for God continues as strong today as it was at the time of their deaths in 1956.
