God has called each of us to be his ambassadors--to offer a message of reconciliation to an alienated world. But what does a "successful ministry" look like? What Paul shows us about his life and ministry in this intensely personal letter is in startling contrast to prevalent views of successful ministry today. These studies will help you discover the power of strength through weakness for serving a needy world.

God has always commissioned his people to be a blessing and witness to others. This studyguide will enable you to see the world through God's eyes and will motivate you to get involved in the awesome and joyful task of worldwide outreach.

2020 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year ("Also Recommended," Cross-Cultural and Missional) In our globalized world, ideas are constantly being exchanged between people of different cultural backgrounds. But educators often struggle to adapt to the contexts of diverse learners. Some focus so much on content delivery that they overlook crosscultural barriers to effective teaching. Educator and missiologist James Plueddemann offers field-tested insights for teaching across cultural differences. He unpacks how different cultural dynamics may inhibit learning and offers a framework for integrating conceptual ideas into practical experience. He provides a model of teaching as pilgrimage, where the aim is not merely the mastery of information but the use of knowledge to foster the development of the pilgrim learner. Plueddemann's crosscultural experience shows how teachers can make connections between content and context, bridging truth and life. Those who teach in educational institutions, mission organizations, churches, and other ministries will find insights here for transformational crosscultural learning.
