Issues In Missiology, Volume IB

Description

One of the most challenging and difficult situations for missionaries on the field is the question of money. Missionaries in the USA are not considered wealthy, but when the missionary arrives overseas in a third world country, he often finds himself cast in the role of the wealthy American in contrast to those around him. This is a new and very difficult role to fill. Often the missionary does not think that the Bible is talking to him since he considers himself a relatively poor missionary. But in his target country, he is one of the elite rich, and the Bible is speaking directly to him in his role as a wealthy individual.
