Dispositions For Christian Witness Among Theravada Buddhists, Stephen Bailey
Dispositions For Christian Witness Among Theravada Buddhists, Stephen Bailey
The Asbury Journal
This article reflects on communicating the Christian gospel appropriately and effectively among Southeast Asian Theravada Buddhists (SEATB). It is concerned with contextualizing the means of communication rather than theological concepts. Contextualization is often discussed with little reference to the level of contextualization, including: the content of the gospel, liturgical forms, social rules for relating, and dispositions shaped by Buddhist virtues used in communication.

Gerontic Evangelism, Yakubu Jakada
Great Commission Research Journal
Gerontic Evangelism focuses on sharing the gospel with senior adults. Many evangelism ministries are focusing on children, youth, women, and other adult members of society, but few focus on the elderly.

First, be a diligent student of Christian truth,... then go and work in the vineyard of the Lord, that God may be honored, and that souls may be saved through your instrumentality."

Giventhis reality, Christian education at every level needs to discover a pedagogical process for preparing all Christians for missionary vocations that address the emerging missiological realities ofthe 21st century.
