The End of the Missionary Era?
Kenneth Strachan
The "Missionary Era", in the colonial sense of the
word is over, but there is an even greater need for missionaries today, missionaries
who will partner with the indigenous leaders. Some
of the greatest obstacles to the Gospel today are militant communism, which
functions like a religion, and the cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Missions Tomorrow
Kenneth Strachan
As the population explodes in the developing world,
many more missionaries will still be needed. Population growth is outstripping
Church growth. At the same time, as the church
explodes in the developing world, new models of partnership are needed with
the local church leaders.

The Gospel
Masumi Toyotome
Mr. Toyotome presents the good news from a Japanese perspective.
The Gospel is life, and to be apart from the gospel is death.
Discipleship - The Explosive Power
of the Christian Faith
Masumi Toyotome
The power of the Gospel can turn this whole world upside down. But the church
today, in America, in Japan, is too lethargic to be explosive. Let us stand
where we should in the explosion of grace in tomorrow's world. Don't dream second-rate
dreams. Dream big, and act accordingly.
An Encounter with Christ
Billy Graham
Summary: God loves us, and that is amazing. We are so insignificant in the
universe. It would not be very impressive to the creator if we were to put a
man on the moon. We are insignificant, but God loves us, and gave us the power
to love him or to hate him. And we chose to hate him, but God sent Jesus to
die for us. You must take this opportunity to believe and recieve the free gift
of salvation. Then you will be free from sin and able to know God.
Mission Commitment
Billy Graham
In this call to committment to Christ's mission, Billy Graham compares the
attitude of the day's young communists to that of the early church. He challenges
the Urbana delegates to have that kind of willingness to serve Jesus.
Conclusion
His Spirit was Stirred Within Him
Eric Fife
The qualifications of the Apostle Paul did not make him a
missionary. They made him a persecutor of the church of Christ. It wasn't primarily
his mind that made him the man who won souls for Christ. It was that he was
a man who was capable of being stirred.
