Reaching Every Nation (The Book of Acts for the Global Church)

Explore what it means for the global church today to embrace the missional practices modeled by early believers in the New Testament.

As the church around the world continues to engage with and act on the calling to make disciples of all nations and share the gospel, the church needs to look backward, examining the patterns and actions of early believers and the basic principles of living out faith that are relevant for Christians in all places. Adapted from the plenary addresses at the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism, Reaching Every Nation walks the reader through the work and witness displayed by the early church as it became global.

By looking into the book of Acts after the coming of the Holy Spirit, this book shares with the church around the globe the basic principles for living out faith in our world today.

Readers will be equipped through:

• the perspectives of global voices involved in church missions and ministry
• key themes found in the book of Acts that encourage believers to live boldly
• an analysis of modern-day missionary practices in light of the New Testament model of missions
• thought-provoking discussion questions and prayer prompts for personal study or small groups

This book offers valuable insight for church leaders, missions professionals, and Christians from all places and professions on being empowered through the Holy Spirit for missions, boldly proclaiming of the gospel, facing persecution, modelling Christ in work and leadership, and more, informed by the acts of the apostles and early church history found in Scripture.

Journey with the early church as you read about how the Holy Spirit filled them, equipped them, and moved through them to make the gospel known among the nations.
