What is the church’s role in ‘mission’ today? Should mission be an integral part of church life? What does it actually mean to be witnesses in our modern context?
Devries, writing from his church-planting experience, places a great emphasis on the corporate nature of God’s people in the context of the local church. He demonstrates that Christians are fundamentally part of God’s work in the world today. Devries seeks to stir up and challenge the Christian church to evaluate, reform, and then faithfully fulfil that calling to be Christ’s witnesses in the world, now.
