In this edition there is an eclectic mix of articles about how effective mission is done in our twenty-first century. There’s a challenge about bringing together the presentation of the gospel in both “word” and “deed,” which somehow have tended to drift to polar opposites – when God intended them to work together.

And there is an interview that tells the story of Baptist Churches in Hobart workingto achieve a great vision and new church planting goal by the year 2020.
