Description

What are the true implications of the Holy Spirit backing up the gospel with power? What if you only had a short amount of time to train new disciples due to an outbreak of persecution? What would you need to deposit in a first round of disciples in order to catalyze a rapidly-expanding, New Testament-caliber movement whose adherents stay faithful to Jesus through trials and opposition? Drawing on his experiences in the Muslim world and other ministry contexts, Tim Miller examines these questions and more in Poised for Harvest, Braced for Backlash. "This book presents a strategy of mission that is far from new-it simply goes back to the model gleaned from the New Testament. I earnestly desire that my students lay hold of what Tim Miller is communicating in this book. Kenneth Krause, Director, Bethany College of Missions "Inspiring, a fresh look at modern missionary approaches in the context of catalytic church planting movements. Written from thoughtful reflection and passionate practice." Daniel Lim, Chief Executive Officer, IHOP Missions Base "This book is explosive, born not out of theory but by the Spirit and practice. If you truly want to make disciples of all nations as Jesus commanded, this book is a must read." Jaeson Ma, Founder, Campus Church Networks "Tim Miller has described an approach to mission among resistant people that I believe is biblical, effective, and sensitive to the cultural context. It often sounds like the book of Acts." Paul Pierson, Dean Emeritus, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary Timothy Miller has served as a church planter in various contexts and on staff at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. He and his family continue to serve Jesus among the nations, and have a passion for the convergence of prayer, missions, and business.
