For ministries working in Asia, this book is extremely helpful to see the different views and contexts of accountability compared. Accountability from a relationship focus looks much different than accountability based on finance or process standards. Although it is still accountability. The book correctly identifies some of the problems that may arise in both contexts, and then specifically looks at South Korean missions and the beneficial changes that could happen with accountability of NGO's and missionaries with a little work.

"The Korean missions movement is perhaps the most significant story of the Church in the world over the past one hundred years. Today Korea can boast of being the leading sender of missionaries per head of population. Yet this movement has not been well integrated into the global mission community and also this community has at times failed to understand and learn from this tremendous work of God. I am excited that God has brought together a unique body of people to wrestle with these issues. This work will help bring about much needed collaboration and develop each other's strengths in an environment of mutual respect."--MALCOLM L. McGREGOR, SIM International Director"Accountability in Missions is a remarkable book, exploring the full range of mission accountability issues--strategic, financial, and relational--from both Korean and North American perspectives. This is global missiology made practical and accessible to all missions practitioners. The many articles that penetrate the mysteries of Korean and North American interaction especially make it a must-read book for all Koreans and North Americans working together."--STEVE STRAUSS, Professor of Mission and Intercultural Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary"This collection of essays provides a biblical and theological basis for accountability and brings voices East and West, demonstrating that accountability--to God and to others--is a universal principle, not linked to one culture or context (i.e., Western). Further, the collection is eminently practical, addressing matters of governance (decision-making), finance, and personal integrity. To all mission leaders I say: read this book! Actually, read it but also find colleagues with whom to discuss and digest these principles and review our mission practices."--GORDON T. SMITH, President, reSource Leadership International Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
