Development in Mission tackles this perplexing question and encourages readers to embrace a holistic approach to Christian poverty alleviation. Gathering their diverse perspectives on international development, the authors construct a solid theological foundation for missions. They distill principles for effective Christian engagement in several key sectors including education, income and poverty reduction, water and sanitation systems, creation care, healthcare delivery, disaster relief, peacemaking, sports ministries, and others. Congregations, missionaries, nonprofit leaders, and Christians in the Global North will find fresh perspectives for engaging global vulnerability, poverty, and injustice, faithfully and effectively. Along the way, readers will find that they are being transformed themselves as they join God's mission in the world"--
