{"product_id":"a-vision-for-missions-the-character-of-god-and-the-missionary-motive","title":"A Vision for Missions: The Character of God and The Missionary Motive","description":"\u003cp\u003eTom Wells writes with the conviction that when it comes to cross-cultural mission, Christians must come back to first principles. Human need and world conditions are not the starting point. The gospel is a call to know and worship God, and the primary conviction of the messenger must be that God is worthy to be known. The missionary vision must begin with the vision of God. Only then can the church truly respond to the command to ‘declare his glory among the nations.’\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a challenging book, and equally relevant to Christians at home and abroad. It treats missionary endeavour not as a separate interest but as basic to Christianity itself. By reference to David Brainerd, William Carey, and Henry Martyn the author also shows the true inspiration which lay behind the missionary movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTom Wells (1933–2019) was a preacher and writer based in West Chester, near Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, where he was for nearly thirty years the pastor of The King’s Chapel Reformed Baptist Church.
