GLOBAL MISSIOLOGY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Part 1
Setting the stage
WE BEGIN WITH AN INVITATION to the global Evangelical
“reflective practitioners.” These are women and men
of both action and study; rooted in the Word of God and the
church of Christ; passionately obedient to the fullness of the
Great Commandment and Great Commission; globalized in
their perspective, yet faithful citizens of their own cultures.
This book emerges from the Iguassu Missiological Consultation,



held in Brazil in October 1999. The World Evangelical
Fellowship Missions Commission leaders convened
this strategic event because we perceived the need to pause
at this historical hinge of both century and millennium to
examine our missiological foundations, commitments, and
practices. That event and this book initiated an ongoing process
that purposes to release further serious and practical
global missiology at the service of the borderless church.
The structure of this publication in part parallels that
of the Iguassu Consultation. Of the 41 chapters, only 13 were
commissioned after Iguassu, primarily to fill in some gaps
and address other major global challenges that Christians
face. Only two of the 41 writers were unable to attend the
consultation itself—Howell and Engqvist. Escobar had to
cancel at the last moment due to his wife’s health, but his
papers played a central role in the Consultation.
