To Every Tribe with Jesus: Understanding and Reaching Tribal Peoples for Christ (David Sitton)
$10.99For anyone who aspires to serve in foreign missions, particularly to unreached tribes and people-groups, here is one of the most important books you can ever read. The author has devoted the last 32 years of his life to reaching such groups. Foreword by Dr. Ralph Winter.
“Out of his 32 years of learning-while-doing among various tribes of Papua New Guinea, David Sitton provides a handbook for tribal ministry that is both informative and intensely practical. Our passion to reach the remaining unreached tribes will surely grow as the lessons David sets forth are absorbed. The planting of strong New Testament churches among them will be speeded along as these well-attested lessons are applied! I urge all missions-aware Christians to both read To Every Tribe With Jesus and then recommend it to others.”

Western Christians in Global Mission (Paul Borthwick)
$12.50What’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?
