I never doubted that someday it would happen. It was simply a question of being sensitive to God's timing for such an event. As we look back, we can sense his guidance in every step toward it. I'll never forget the day the Conference opened. As I viewed the scene from the platform, my heart was filled with gratitude to God. The vision he gave me so many years before was being fulfilled in his perfect timing. The Conference was more than a great time of fellowship and worship with fellow-evangelists; it was a period of serious and strategic thinking and praying concerning the completion of the Great Commision. In Amsterdam God enabled us to learn from one another. Many evangelists expressed the hope that some type of brief \"code of standards\" for evangelists could be prepared. A carefully selected international committee was appointed to prepare this. Their final draft -- The Amsterdam Affirmations -- stated briefly but thoroughly the biblical foundation, the task, and the integrity of the evangelist. The participants joined in affirming verbally their commitment to each of the fifteen affirmations. It was suggested that I write an interpretive commentary on The Amsterdam Affirmations. It is my prayer that God will use this commentary to help Christians gain a greater vision for God's work in our world. God has placed us in a unique and opportune period of history. The fields are \"ripe for harvest.\" May we see a renewed dedication in this generation to the priority of evangelism on the part of every child of God. - Billy Graham, on back cover.

In that debate, the interpretation of mission which is popular in some circles within the ecumenical movement differs acutely from that which has been held traditionally by many evangelicals. The way forward is for the two sides to meet together in a joint study of the Scripture, and to correct and enrich their own and others' understanding of mission by a deeper understanding of the biblical missionary theme and a fuller submission to it. Four adjectives describe this book: biblical, clear, fair, constructive. - Foreword.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 128 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christian mission in the modern world \/ John Stott and Christopher J.H.

Newly updated and expanded by Christopher J.H. Wright, Christian Mission in the Modern World provides a biblically based approach to mission that addresses both spiritual and physical needs. With his trademark and unparalleled clarity and conviction, Stott illuminates how the Great Commission itself not only assumes the proclamation that makes disciples, but also teaches obedience to the Great Commandment of love and service. Wright has expertly updated the original book and demonstrates the continuing relevance of Stott's prescient thinking. This balanced approach to mission offers timeless guidance for current and future Christians to embrace Jesus' unconflicted model of ministry.\"--Back cover.\r\n\r\nOther Notes: \tIncludes bibliographical references.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Illinois\n\nPhysical description: 238 pages ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":"Updated and expanded edition.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":8,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Conversational evangelism \/ David Geisler, Norman Geisler.","author":"Geisler, D.; Geisler, N.","isbn":"0736950834","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Harvest House Publishers"},"datePublished":"2009","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents: \tThe need for pre-evangelism in a postmodern world -- Introduction to conversational evangelism -- Learning the role of the musician -- Learning the role of the artist -- Learning the role of the archaeologist -- Learning the role of the builder -- The art of answering objections while moving forward -- The art of asking questions of people with different worldviews -- Countering common misconceptions that affect evangelism.\r\n\r\nAbstract:  \"As our culture's awareness of basic Christian principles has changed, so have the needs of pre-believers.
