Sharing Jesus Effectively in the Buddhist World
3 Great Reasons to Buy from Us:
This is the final book in the three-volume 'Sharing Jesus in the Buddhist World' series. The works have been written by a group of Evangelical mission 'reflective practitioners,' who are committed to developing more effective ways to win the Buddhist peoples to the Lord Jesus Christ. The chapters in this volume were first presented as papers at a missiological forum held at the start of the sixth assembly of SEANET in January 2004 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The opening chapter is a 'situationer' of where the Buddhist people groups are, and the next six describe some of the best models of mission approaches to reaching Buddhists. The last four chapters depict some of the past and present attempts at effective 'people movements' or 'church planting movements' in Thailand and Japan. We invite our readers to access the previous volumes, Sharing Jesus in the Buddhist World and Sharing Jesus Holistically with the Buddhist World, also edited by David Lim and Steve Spaulding. These works provide concrete models of contextualized witness to adherents of various Buddhist faiths, which number one billion today. All three books are rich resources for those committed to effective evangelization and transformation of nations in our generation. About the Author David Lim, convenor of the SEANET Forum, has a Ph.D. in New Testament Theology. A Chinese-born Filipino, Dr. Lim has spent most of his career in Southeast Asia, heading the China Ministries International in the Philippines and being involved in Indo-China ministries, mobilizing tentmakers to plant house churches throughout the 10/40 Window. Steve Spaulding, facilitator of SEANET, holds an M.A. in Missiology and has worked with DAWN Ministries in Southeast Asia for almost ten years. He has focused almost exclusively on the Buddhist peoples of this region, and has mobilized a force of committed church and mission communities to reach every Buddhist people group. Paul De Neui, SEANET committee member, holds a Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies. He has spent 18 years enabling indigenous organizations to facilitate holistic and culturally relevant ministries that direct people to Christ within the context of a folk Buddhist country in Southeast Asia. At present, he is the Associate Professor of Mission and Director of the Center for World Christian Studies at North Park Theological Seminary, Chicago.
