Connections: the Journal of the WEA Mission Commission

Since we founded our journal in 2002, it has been my privilege to serve as editor. This is a huge challenge with unmeasured hours of mental, writing, correspondence, editing, graphics, promotion and sales work. And it has challenged me beyond my known capacities. We see it as a writers global roundtable–a place and a space where women and men in global mission leadership can address key issues of mission concern. Each issue is thematic, and here are some of the recent ones

1. Mission in contexts of suffering,violence, persecution

2. Contextualization revisited

Spirituality and Mission

3. Spirituality and mission

4. Business as mission

5. China

6. Mission Structures: churches, sending groups, training centers, field strategy and support teams

We are very excited to produce a unique Arts in Mission “double issue”, 90 pages of full color, with a much larger print run, ready for release at the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization this October in Cape Town, South Africa. The incredible work of John Franklin (Canada) and Robin Harris (US) has made this possible. Keep your eyes open, and go ahead and plan to purchase a large number for distribution and use.
