Expanding the Mission: Reaching Our World
Jesus was clear when He instructed the disciples to “proclaim the gospel to all nations.” Matthew tells us it was a command. Jesus went to the villages bringing a message of hope to lost people who needed forgiveness. He set the example as a shepherd searching for one sheep lost in the darkness.
Today, it is not difficult to recognize the lostness of humanity in every culture of the world. Evangelism is a response to the lostness of mankind that comes from the heart of the Father. Until every village, language, and people group has received the gospel, the work of the church is not complete.
In this mega World Missions edition, you will read challenging and informative articles by great missions leaders and pastors such as: Omar Beiler, L. John Bueno, Randy Hurst, E. Scott Martin, Randall Ross, Jean-Baptiste Sawadogo, Randy Valimont, Brad Walz, and others.

Internet Pornography (PDF)
By Cheryl Taylor, D.Min., D.Min. advisor, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
The Church today exists in a sexually saturated society. Within the space of one generation, America has moved from Leave It To Beaver to Sex in the City, or, more recently, Sex in Cyberspace. Unfortunately, this changing morality is sweeping through the Church as well. There is hope. Not only can Christian leaders protect themselves from this lurking predator, they can serve as a lighthouse for other unsuspecting victims, helping them navigate these waters safely. (Download PDF)

Next Time in Enrichment
Proclaiming Truth in a Secular Society
In our post-Christian society — or as some have called it, an anti-Christian society — people are asking “Is there such a thing as truth?” Relativism has taken such a hold on our society that many people believe there is no such thing as absolute truth. As a pastor, how do you respond to the attacks and beliefs that are so prevalent in today’s society? How do you prepare your people to answer today’s skeptics?
There are relevant, intellectual, and practical ways to address today’s issues concerning truth. To help you proclaim truth in this anti-Christian society, the next issue of Enrichment will provide apologetic articles from Mike Beal, Paul Copan, Richard L. Dresselhaus, Graham Johnston, David Kinnaman, James Emery White, and Ravi Zacharias.
