Product Description

God at work in our busy secular world - through you.

The great commission is far more long term and life consuming than we might think - especially in a busy, post-Christian world. These hard-won stories, biblical insights and ideas from mission in urban Tokyo will help us to be expectant that God is using us to lead family, friends and workmates into his kingdom.

Graham Orr is a member of Woodstock Road Baptist Church, Oxford. Prior to this, he was a missionary pastor to Tokyo, leading ‘The Chapel of Adoration’ handing on to a Japanese pastor in 2009.

'Are you a Christian who switches off when someone talks about evangelism? It's not your gift, you are too busy and your friends are not interested? Then this charming book is for you.

Publishers's Description

The great commission - 'Go and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you' - is far more long term and life consuming than we might imagine. It is more involved, more complex and more costly than we would like. It requires a broader appreciation of others' backgrounds and a deeper commitment to personal relationship. It demands that we live authentically, flexibly and humbly.

And yet it is a great privilege - living where God has placed us, we step out of our home-made security and pass on the good news to those with whom we live and work.

This book will help you step beyond your own familiarity with the Bible, church, doctrine, prayer and Christian jargon, and reach out to those for whom these things are completely foreign. Graham Orr's years of experience leading a church in urban Tokyo - one of the toughest places to do evangelism - have given him deep insight into how to reach those who have no knowledge of, or interest in, Christianity. Designed for those with busy urban lives, this book is full of stories, biblical insights, and ideas to put into practice.
