Missional ethics is concerned with the way in which the believing community’s behaviour is, in and of itself, a witness to the wisdom and goodness of God. The debate surrounding the relationship between word and deed, or evangelism and social action, remains a significant issue within evangelical missiology. Martin Salter seeks to address one aspect of that debate – namely, the missional significance of ethics – by conducting detailed exegesis of key biblical texts. He argues that biblical ethics is neither entirely separate from, nor merely preparatory for, mission – rather, it is an integral part of the church’s mission. Missional ethics is a theme that arises from the biblical texts and is not imposed on them. The church as both organism and institution embody a missional ethic that includes worship, justice, and charity. Word and deed belong together as an integral whole. Salter’s valuable study concludes by offering a definition of missional ethics.

The interior of the old Ford armoured car stank of sweat, blood and acrid smoke. Pat's eyes desperately struggled to focus in the gloom of the biting cordite fog ...On 15 September 1961, Trooper Patrick Mullins was posted missing after the bloody ambush of an Irish UN convoy in a suburb of Elisabethville in the Katanga province of the Congo. The circumstances of that fateful day have remained shrouded in confusion and contradiction for five decades – until now. Missing in Action reveals for the first time how an ill-equipped and heavily out-gunned Irish soldier fought with astonishing courage against heavily armed and ruthless Katangan gendarmes. Through interviews with the survivors and access to military intelligence sources, the truth about Trooper Mullins' heroic last stand and ultimate fate can now be told.

Never before has the phenomenon of mission mobilization been so broadly researched. In a vein similar to Too Valuable To Lose and Worth Keeping, the World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission commissioned a research team to investigate what motivates people into mission service from around the globe. Mobilization practitioners recorded, translated and transcribed hundreds of hours of interview dialogue that explored reasons for mission involvement from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North and South America, Oceania, East Asia, South Asia and East Africa. The data was subsequently analyzed to draw out common themes, and Mission In Motion presents the results of this research. This book is the first definitive exploration of the recent history, ministries and methods of mission mobilization. The evangelical missions community is expending much energy and resource trying to raise up workers for the Lord’s harvest, but is it helping? Are the means, models, methods, and mechanisms being applied to this end effective? What does influence people to greater involvement in mission—whatever they understand mission to be? Furthermore, what hinders it? In addressing these questions, Mission In Motion allows the interviewed respondents to speak for themselves, in an open and frank manner. Some results confirm common beliefs, but others may surprise you.

Two families see their sons off to war. One family from the upper middle class in Los Angeles. The other from a poor family from a small town in Ohio. One lively young man was engaged to a beautiful young lady and the other a rambunctious single youth who was unattached yet loved life. One married his sweetheart before shipping overseas as a skilled fighter pilot. Both men would unknowingly cross paths on the fateful final mission for one of them. The pilot become just another statistic that day in March of 1944 when he joined the ranks of thousands of missing in action and left a grieving young widow behind. The other flew over two dozen bombing missions before being shot down and listed as killed in action. The missing pilot was recovered two years later from a small village cemetery in France and the other from a distant corner in a German country cemetery. Each of their families knew so very little of what had happened to them that we could only accumulate a paragraph of information between the two. Nearly sixty years after the war with each family's permission I set out to discover the truth of their service and missions, including their final mission and ultimate sacrifice. Through modern technology and detective work I located those that served with them and discovered the truth of what happened to each. The local witnesses of these tragic events came forward to not only tell their story but to honor two strangers from a far off land from decades ago. I realized I could not just tell the facts but I was also compelled to remember them for the uncles, brothers, sons and heroes that they were. Especially for a an 88 year old widow who never remarried and still waits to be reunited with the love of her youth. This journey, this story to bring Bradford Wikholm and Lawrence Hambel out from the stack of WWII statistics, tell their stories and remember them. My quest for truth ultimately became a mission of honor.
