Abstract

Those engaged in mission outreach to international visitors have used ministry models that are Western in orientation. Although the gospel of the kingdom contains the four dimensions of evangelism, discipleship, community, and social justice, most ministries have stressed the first two and neglected the latter two. This study creates and teaches a four-dimensional model that is informed by Third World theological insights and the biblical theme of the kingdom. A library survey provides the biblical, theological, and historical content of the model. Chapter two focused on the kingdom in the modern missionary movement and the Nazareth passage (Luke 4:16-30). The passage is used as evidence that the kingdom theme holds both spiritual and social interpretations in a kind of tension. Chapter three studies Third World perspectives, including the challenges posed by liberation theology. Chapter four provides an overview and assessment of ministry to internationals in the USA. It considers the four dimensions and their integration into the new model. Chapter five summarizes the research findings and how they are taught in a cross-cultural workshop.
