Dear friends,
Welcome to Mission Hits Journals #8 (July-September 2022), a quarterly posting linking you to all recent articles from 37 different journals/periodicals related to world mission and world Christianity
In this issue we welcome two recently-launched missions journals: Missional Focus (from ForMission College, UK) and The Great Commission Baptist Journal of Mission (from IMB, US).
You will find links below to 17 different journal issues, containing 143 articles. With topics ranging from missionary care in the US to poverty alleviation in Asia, and from women in West Java to missional readings of Genesis, I trust you will find something to keep you informed, inspired, and thoroughly up-to-date so that you don't miss out on anything relevant to your ministry and interests.
If you have friends, colleagues, professors, or students who might benefit from this resource, please do forward it to them. Anyone can sign up to receive Mission Hits Journals 4 times a year by clicking here.
With every blessing as you live in and live out God's great mission purposes.
In Christ,
DR. CHRIS HOWLES (UK)
Head of Theology (Uganda Martyrs Seminary, Namugongo)
DIS (Fuller Theological Seminary)
