Integral Mission - Living, Proclaiming

Today, the concept of "integral mission" is becoming the new paradigm for missionary action - at least in the evangelical world. This unifying concept is capable of bringing together local churches and organizations focused on evangelism on the one hand, and organizations dedicated to humanitarian aid and social justice action on the other, around a common vision. This book is the first in the French-speaking world to describe in depth the background, the biblical basis, and the characteristics of integral mission. Sharing their many field experiences, the authors show, in a thoughtful and practical way, how to implement the concept of integral mission. Far away, in developing countries, and close by, in Western society. They offer a new perspective on being present with our neighbors, and on spreading the Good News. And they add a third context as well: that of persecuted churches. It is fascinating to see how they engage in integral mission in a country where the government significantly restricts freedom of expression and the freedom to act in the public sphere. More than a concept, integral mission is a challenge launched to churches and to every believer to commit to a manifold witness: to be, to live, to speak, and to implement everything that Jesus taught.
