Adoniram Judson: Devoted for Life (Vance Christie)
Explore the life of America’s first foreign missionary, Adoniram Judson (1788-1850), who was devoted to serving for over 38 years in Burma, no matter the cost. The son of a congregational minister, Judson was a precocious young man who aspired to gain exceptional worldly fame through some prominent secular career. But following a crisis of faith and a stunning turn of events that exposed the vanity of mere temporal pursuits, he went on to study for the Christian ministry and to dedicate his life to missionary service.
With unshakable faith in God and His Word, Judson persevered through staggering difficulties. His unremitting labor and devotion were used of the Lord to spread the Gospel and to establish healthy Christian congregations throughout Burma. Judson’s example was an inspiration to untold thousands in his own day and still has the power to encourage and instruct believers today.

Kindling a Passion for Missions in a Child’s Heart: audio CD (Dennis Gundersen)
Should your children go on a missions trip? Should you go as a family? How can you best prepare your children and family for such a trip? Dennis Gundersen helps parents work through these questions.
Most importantly of all, parents need to be helping their children to see and discover that this world is a harvest of souls in need of the gospel, so that they don’t grow up having eyes only for their own little world.
This audio message (about 1 hour play time) can help parents learn how to lift their children’s vision to see these vast worldwide needs, and grasp that not every Christian has to end up being a missionary; but we can all have a heart for the tribes and peoples and nations around the globe whom the Lord is calling to Himself.

Western Christians in Global Mission (Paul Borthwick)
What’s the Role of the North American Church now?
There are now more Christians in China than in all of Europe, more Pentecostals in Brazil than in the United States, and more Anglicans in Kenya than in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States combined. Countries that were once destinations for western missionaries are now sending their own missionaries to North America.
A century ago, Christianity was still primarily centered in North America and Europe. By the dawn of the 21st century, Christianity had become a truly global faith, with Christians in Asia, Africa and Latin America outpacing those in the rest of the world.
Given these changes, some think the day of the Western missionary is over. Some are wary that American mission efforts may perpetuate an imperialistic colonialism. Some say that global outreach is best left to indigenous leaders. Others simply feel that resources should be focused on the home front. Is there an ongoing role for the North American church in global mission?
