Missions, which is the fulfilment of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, is part-and-parcel of the Christian faith. A theological, exegetical, and practical approach has been adopted to study this subject, with due cognisance given to the history of missions and the observations and proposals of experienced missionaries. This biblical and holistic understanding of missions will have profound effects upon the local church ministry and the approach to missions. The local church is not only to be missions-minded but to be involved in missions by engaging in a definite programme of local outreach and wider church planting. An awareness of global missions - ranging from tribal to urban outreach, homogeneous to cross-cultural evangelism, and past to present practice - will give one a sense of direction, purpose and destiny. There is no better way to glorify God than to build up the church of Jesus Christ, by serving in a good local church that is involved in missions. Intended as a textbook on missiology, it is expected that this book will be helpful also to pastors, missionaries, and serious Christians of all denominations.
