MISSION FRONTIERS, JULY-AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Mission Frontiers, July-August 2020 issue

In this issue we observe how COVID-19 is leaving its impact on outreaches across the globe. As this virus is changing our lives in dramatic ways, it is also changing the way we go about doing missions—which is what this issue is all about. How do we reach people and make disciples while wearing masks and practicing social distancing? We take a fascinating look at how the Church has responded to pandemics throughout history and review ways that we can respond biblically as Christ followers. We take you on a journey to see how some movements around the world are using the pandemic to reach people for Jesus. You will be called to action when you read how God's people move directly into suffering—despite the circumstances surrounding them. You don't want to miss this issue!
