Summary: 12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year Recommendation (Cross-Cultural)2014 Best World Missions Book, from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds BookstoreWe are more than the businesses we have become. Much of Christian ministry has been shaped to operate not according to the witness of the Scriptures, but according to the values of the free market. We adopt metrics of success that have nothing to do with the state of people's souls or the seeding of the earth with the kingdom of God. We have borrowed our paradigms uncritically from the for-profit corporate sector. The mission of the Church.
