Synopsis: "From a mission field to a missions sender." These words
capture the story of the Brazilian evangelical church, which has
gone from receiving missionaries in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries to becoming a movement that presently sends out more
global laborers than the churches of England or Canada do. After
narrating Brazil's missional shift, in this volume Smither
addresses one fascinating element of the story--Brazilian
evangelical efforts in the Arab world. How have Brazilians adapted
culturally among Arabs, how have they approached ministry, and how
have they cultivated a theology of mission in the process?
Brazilian Evangelical Missions in the Arab World gives the reader
insights from one emerging missions movement with an eye toward a
more comprehensive view of the global church. Endorsements: "Once a
mission field, Brazil has become a mission force. Once a mission
force, the Arab world has become a mission field. In this book,
Smither narrates this compelling story of Brazilian missions in the
Arab world based on well-documented facts, extensive research, and
first-hand experience." --Luis Bush, International Facilitator of
Transform World Connections "I do not know of any other work which
has simultaneously portrayed the Brazilian ecclesiastical and
missional context so well, emphasizing our positive and negative
points. If one wants to understand what the Brazilian mission
movement is all about, one should read this book." --Silas Tostes,
Director of Missao Antioquia "The present study is of immense
importance to missionary work among Arab Muslims. Its unique
contribution derives from the fact that it is original, up-to-date,
and thorough in its analysis of historical data and field research.
The result of Smither's work should be carefully understood and
applied by mission leaders--both from Brazil and from other parts
of the world--as strategies to impact the Arab-Muslim world."
--Robson Ramos, Brazilian missiologist "Smither is distinctly
qualified to address the issue of Brazilian missionaries working in
the Arab world. In addition to having worked for fourteen years
among Arabs, he is a gifted and accomplished missiologist and
researcher with a passion for Brazil . . . This] is required
reading for anyone who is concerned about seeing the name of Christ
declared among all nations." --Joao Mordomo, Director of CCI-Brasil
"This book has surprised me for its historical accuracy and its
well-done research among Brazilians in the Arab context. This book
comes at a time when Brazilians are becoming a key part of the
evangelization of the world, in particular the Arab world."
--Odijon Ribeiro, former Brazilian missionary in the Arab world
Author Biography: Edward Smither is Associate Professor of
