Abstract

Traditional missions research focuses on developing 'scientific' strategies. By contrast, this thesis, based on the experience of 'real world' evangelization and on the premise that true Christian mission methods and outcomes are ultimately 'spiritually discerned,' examines the influence of a missions strategy consisting not of 'scientifically' determined mission 'methods,' but the integration of five simple, New Testament-based 'core values' which manifest in the attitudes, experiences and tangible results of Iris Global's ministry, primarily in Mozambique, Africa. This thesis, accordingly, employs a post-modern, intuitive, pro-active, qualitative research model, articulated in narrative form, in order to assess the validity and fruit of these values.
