Adventist Missiological Education and Global Mission Perspectives

Abstract

The preparation for missionary work must be directly related to the order given by Christ to go, teach, baptize and make disciples (Matt 28:18-20). Thus, theological and missiological aspects should be more focused in order to fulfill the mission given by God to the Church. The contemporary global challenges require that the Adventist missionary understands biblical theology and the Adventist message, while at the same time understanding the local reality where the gospel is to be preached. The immediate opportunities for cross-cultural mission generated by globalization, as well as the crises and catastrophes in global proportions, require the missionary to possess knowledge, skills, and a range of experiences.
