Description

Discover a Fresh Look at Baptist Missions in On Mission with God

On Mission with God, edited by Pam Durso and Bill O’Brien, offers a wide-angled snapshot of how moderate Baptists are reimagining mission in the 21st century. This engaging and accessible volume brings together voices of experienced practitioners—not professional missiologists—who reflect on the shifting landscape of Baptist mission work. With an emphasis on practical insights rather than academic theory, the book explores the evolution from traditional denominational programs to more personalized, short-term, and globally reciprocal mission efforts.

Contributors include respected leaders like Emmanuel McCall, Fisher Humphreys, and Rob Nash, whose chapter provides the first published history of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s mission endeavors. From autobiographical reflections to theological explorations, the chapters span topics such as mission history, theology, organizational structures, and the growing emphasis on contextual, short-term ministry.

Ideal for congregational study, small groups, and mission committees, On Mission with God is a valuable resource for “free and faithful Baptists” seeking to engage faithfully in God’s mission. Whether you’re a seasoned church leader or a layperson with a heart for missions, this book opens the door for meaningful conversation about where Baptist missions have been—and where they are headed.
