Missions in the Bible
…As the drama of the Bible unfolds, the cast suddenly reveals a new Person as we open to the N.T. This new Person is the direct personal agent of the living God of all nations, His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and we instinctively tense as He walks on…
USCWM Financial Update
…Last time I promised to give an overview of our financial situation. On July 15, 1980 we were able to make the $280,000 downpayment on approximately 17 acres of additional property, the essential "second half of the campus." thus virtually doubling and completing our holdings. Meanwhile, by borrowing in effect…

Missions in the Bible

From the Director
…Dear Friends, How far have we come in our program? The tax man has helped us figure it out. And we are amazed. (Each year we have a curious kick in the pants from the state government. It wants to know just how our property is being used. Tax will…

Q & A With the Director
…The U.S. Center for World Mission is a group of former missionaries and mission leaders who in September 1978 took over an entire college campus in Pasadena, California, which was vacated by a Christian college that had moved to another city. Already 110 people are working in the Center each…
The Ebbing of the Tide
…For 50 years mission work has consisted more and more of taking care of earlier converts, and the care and the feeding of new churches emerging from earlier beachheads. That was O.K. until it began to be clear in the early 70's that 5 out of 6 nonChristians lived still…

The Hidden Peoples
…In 1961 a small metallic object rocketed into airless space and began to circle the earth. Overnight, a startled world stepped hesitantly into the space age. Within ten years the same world watched as a man named Armstrong stepped down on the moon. As a result, modern man plunged into…

Your Part in the Victory
…Why is the U.S. Center for World Mission buying a 17-acre campus? Because it is a key strategy for penetrating over half the human race for Christ. Two and onehalf billion "Hidden People" live in 16,750 cultural and political groups around the world. They are beyond the range of church…
Meet the Director
…Why would Mainland China announce that its government will pay 19.4 million dollars to a list of American mission agencies for properties seized years ago? On the heels of that report, we now hear that China is asking the Jesuits to return to reestablish a medical school they operated 30…
Focus on New Fields
…A number of Mission Societies have for years made it a point to seek out and enter new areas where people were unevangelized. The focus on this concern is made even sharper when a society appoints a Director or establishes a department devoted particularly to the development of new fields.…
Who is a Missionary?
…What identifies a missionary? Commitment to God's plan. To be fully identified with Christ compels effort to achieve His worldwide goal (Mk.15:16). Jesus Christ came to implement God's redemptive plan made before the foundation of the world. That task will one day be finished. God is God; His plan will…
News Update
