Global mission has moved into a new era where it is no longer just "from the West to the rest" but rather "from everywhere to everywhere." But too often mission workers have not partnered well with local communities, hurting Christian witness and ministry efforts. How can we do better? The book of Acts provides an alternative role model. While more attention is given to the apostle Paul, his companion Barnabas provides a striking model of mission service. He entered sensitive crosscultural situations and could help without hurting. He taught, developed, and trained others while also encouraging and releasing leaders. Barnabas models mission partnership that is generous, trustworthy, mutual, and empowering. In today's new era of global mission, we need more people like Barnabas. In this multifaceted volume, a team of mission practitioners from around the world unpack the life and ministry of Barnabas. Contributors from different regions (Zambia, Bosnia, Australia, India, Ghana, New Zealand, Latin America, and the USA) provide diverse experiences and global viewpoints on mission partnerships. Discover how the Barnabas Factor can amplify global missions and make our crosscultural partnerships more mutually beneficial"-- Provided by publisher 4aBarnabas 4aPartnerschaft 4aEntwicklungszusammenarbeit 4aMissiologie 4aCross - Cultural Service 4aInterkulturelles Management 4aBiblische Theologie 4aInternational
