Professor Makes Good Use of Mission Frontiers

… I have just returned from 14 years in Kenya with Campus Crusade for Christ, serving as the Field Ministry Coordinator and member of the missions committee of the Nairobi International School of Theology (NIST). … [Y]ou sent me a bunch of … Mission Frontiers every time you printed an issue. I not only gave out these copies to all the students at NIST (rotating groups and faculty), but I also used the article contents in some of my classes. My students loved Mission Frontiers, and most of them subscribed.

Praising God for the Generosity of Others

Thanks very much for sending me … Mission Frontiers over the years. These magazines have been a very great help to me in encouraging for missions. Presently, I am the pastor of a refugee congregation, the Danane Inland Church. Here we are involved in missions and church planting. The magazines have been very helpful in these areas.

Praise God for those who give towards this magazine, which made it possible for us to receive these free of charge. May God richly bless them.

Yours sincerely,

Rev. Benjamin T. Munford

Students and Missions

I think Ryan Shaw hit the nail right on the head in his article “The Student World and Missions—How are we doing?”. I can say that as a college mobilizer I see the same trends. It is very unusual for college students to actually be challenged to be “long-term, cross-cultural, foreign missionaries” for fear of offending some who desire to work here or somehow communicating that working in America is “secondclass,” which we know is false. Yet, this is the very challenge that college students, the most mobile, sendable people on the planet need to hear!

Ryan Shaw is right. In order to see missions vision sweep through the United States and cast .re in the hearts of college students, we need to have “more students who have a heart for the world begin to exhort and challenge their fellow students on these issues.” We are constantly brainstorming how we can raise up more Campus Mobilizers, college students who are able to pass on their world vision to other students. Thanks, Ryan, for the stirring and insightful article.
