The October 1996 edition of Evangelical Missions Quarterly has a tremendous amount of resources for those of us involved in missions.

LIVING BY FAITH (International Family Missions) This little 36-page magazine from International Family Missions, P.O. Box 309, Lafayette, CO 80026-0309, is only a few years old and is from a mission that enables whole families from the U.S. to do short-term mission work together in Juarez, Mexico. This edition had poetry, a profile of a missions-active family, information on ministries in Juarez, information on IFM, prayer requests, and a spotlight on Voice of the Martyrs. There were also two editorials by Joe Hart, pointing out errors he perceived in popular Christian thinking. One was that you have to love yourself before you can love other people. He took a strong stand against this in his article, "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself," saying that loving God and denying ourselves is more important to loving our neighbor than having good self-esteem. The second critique he offered appeared to be aimed at Don Richardson and Bob Sjogren. Hart said God never intended for ancient Jews to evangelize the world because they were "under the law." Living By Faith also mentioned two training seminars offered by IFM: *Discipleship, Outreach, Missions, & Evangelism School, designed to prepare candidates for long-term missions. Meets once a week for 9 months. *A two-week seminar on "how to organize, lead, and do a short-term mission trip involving family units and the whole church"

REACHOUT TO THE MUSLIM WORLD
Georges Houssney of Horizons International offers an alternative view to the "contextualization" approach to mission among Muslims in the issue I just read: Volume 8 #2&3, 1996. The black & white magazine was 28 pgs. with all 8 articles written by Houssney. Even though I picked up somewhat of an "attitude" from the author, I believe he had some good insights into evangelising Muslims, having grown up in a Muslim society himself.
