NUTURING A GENERATION OF “PAULINE” AND “PETRINE” APOSTLES by Wade Scoggins My early thinking on apostleship was shaped by Watchman Nee, who made a distinction between the Church and the Work – two distinct entities with distinct spheres. The Church is called to subdue the land, bringing the full weight of the gospel to bear on every segment and aspect of society. The “Work” is the apostolic work – taking the Kingdom of God to where the Church does not yet exist. The work of the apostolic community has always been to establish the Church where it does not exist and in such a way that the Church will reproduce locally and subdue the land.

CLIMBING HIGHER - INSPIRATION FOR THE CROSS-CULTURAL CHURCH PLANTER by Roger Dixon As missionary teams multiplied across Muslim Southeast Asia in the late 1980s and early 1990s, veteran church planter Roger Dixon began investing in newer personnel. Climbing Higher includes 100 of his invaluable letters of encouragement. It’s been called a My Utjost for His Highest for cross-cultural workers. While theorists multiply, successful church planters in the Muslim world remain few. Roger is one who, by God’s grace and through much prayer, has played an instrumental role in the birthing of dozens of churches. Climbing Higher reflects some of his experiences and speaks to the nature of life among an unreached people group.
