Entering the 21st Century, one of the most pressing issues for Christian churches is to have a clear understanding of who they are and what they are about! For churches in 'western' contexts, this becomes critical as western society becomes increasingly 'post-Christian' in nature. Putting it another way, we need to redefine ministry for a 21st Century context. The vestigial image of the harmless old vicar cycling around an English village has to go! Even contemporary responses that created 'contemporary' churches that are still fruitful must be examined afresh. New visions need to be created and endorsed. We are at a new frontier, or rather a set of new frontiers, as unprecedented changes press in on the church from all sides. In 2012, a small conference of practising ministers who are also academics and ministry students came together at Harvest Bible College, Melbourne, to wrestle with some of the issues of the new frontiers for Christian ministry. They started a conversation, addressing questions that included developments in women's ministry, the concept of ordination, training ministers online and relating emotional intelligence to ministry 'burnout.' Together they discussed the developing focus of New Zealand Pentecostal churches as they seek to engage with their communities and shared ideas about reaching 'Aussies' in creative new ways. A group of masters level students contributed an insightful report on a study tour of effective ministries in the US, UK and China. The conference wrestled with issues of leadership and the place of teaching in the local church. This book is the result of their deliberations. New Frontiers contains more than theory! On the other hand, the insights contained here are also genuinely research-based, not just 'tips from what I learned in practice'. This means that this book contains well-thought-through and workable insights for ministry. This book will help ministers and trainee ministers engage with some of the real theological and practical questions they cannot avoid if they desire to make a lasting and effective impact. These authors have credibility. They are pastoring significant churches, pioneering new ways of reaching ordinary people who couldn't care less about God, supporting serving ministers to continue in lifelong ministry, and developing fresh modes of training the next generation of ministers and leaders. They are actively engaged in research into ministry practice! This book will certainly stimulate both your thinking and praxis if you are, or want to be, involved in effective Christian ministry. Dr Jon Newton is an ordained Pentecostal minister with extensive experience in church planting, pastoral teams, Christian schools, missions, ministry, and Bible college training. His doctoral thesis at Deakin University was on 'Postmodernism, Christianity and the Book of Revelation'. He is senior minister of Oasis Church, and Head of Research and Dean of Postgraduate Studies at Harvest Bible College, Melbourne. Jon's wife Judy is also a pastor, teacher and professional counsellor, and they have five adult children.

The twentieth century has been the scene of constant and unparalleled change. The seminaries have not been exempt from this change, as evidenced by the inclusion of women, racial and ethnic minorities, and gays and lesbians in the ranks of students and all forms of ministry. The church has undergone major theological shifts as well, as these new ministers bring their own experiences and belief systems to the church. Donald E. Messer believes that the church must hear these experiences in order for it to continue to grow and meet the challenges of the new millennium. It is in this spirit, of opening the church to the strength of its diversity, that Messer believes God is Calling Church & Seminary into the 21st Century. Messer believes that this may best be accomplished by the church celebrating, not ignoring, the variety of voices and experiences within its community. These voices must not only be heard, but recognized as equal to those that have dominated the church for two thousand years, often to the exclusion of dissenters. The church must also learn to communicate in a new way in order to remain relevant in this era of technological advancement. The verse from Isaiah 40:3 - "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God" - takes on new meaning when viewed in the light of the recent phenomenon of the information superhighway. The church must deal in "information superhighways" as well as highways to survive in the coming millennium.

The contrast could not be greater. Paul said, “Let no one boast in men” (1 Cor 3:21), because it is only “God who causes the growth” (1 Cor 3:7). But today’s ministry is often platform-centered and program-bound. Jesus sent out the disciples “like sheep among wolves,” but today this “weak” approach is replaced with powerful techniques emphasizing attraction. The result is that ministry/mission thought and praxis are subverted in a way that makes the ordinary individual believer wonder if and how they are to be involved in God’s wonderful work. For Jesus, ministry was close and personal. He ate with friends, helped the hurting, and spoke the truth in love to any who would listen. Jesus embodied proclamation and ministry by depending on people (local resources), by being approachable and comprehensible (local tongues), and by spiritual gifts (the power of God). As weak and vulnerable as Jesus finds us, so does he desire to use us. Explore in this book the thought and practice of ministry and mission from the God-ordained and God-honoring perspective of vulnerable weakness.

Is there a secret to ministry effectiveness? You have probably been there: you open up your email and are bombarded with a half-dozen emails inviting you to check out the latest and greatest ministry strategies: "10 ways to grow your church," or "Seven ways to maximize your ministry effectiveness." At times, all the new strategies can become overwhelming. But what if the key to faithful ministry is not found in a new strategy, but instead a very old one? What if the key to ministry effectiveness is not found in cracking a secret ministry code, but in doing what local churches have done for the past 2,000 years? What if the secret really is not a secret at all? In They Devoted Themselves, Kyle Bueermann explores Acts 2:42-47, and examines six key elements that led the gospel to expand from 120 people gathered in a room in Jerusalem to tens of thousands of believers scattered throughout the known world over the course of 30 years.
