by Vaughn J. Walston (Editor), Robert J. Stevens (Editor)

A Call Beyond Community

In 1822, Betsy Stockton, a freed slave indentured herself to a White family in order to be a blessing to spread the truth of the Gospel on the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). In 1920 the Lott Carey Missions Society establishes a mission in the interior of Liberia so that African-Americans could spread the Gospel there. Today the Cooperative Mission Network of the African Dispersion (COMINAD) is committed to assisting the Black Church to carry the message of the Gospel to the world.
Venture into the world of overseas missions from an African-American perspective. This collection of articles takes you deep into the history of missions in the African-American community. You will learn of the struggles to stay connected to the world of missions in spite of great obstacles. You will read of unique cultural experiences while traveling abroad. You will feel the heart for fulfilling the Great Commission both in the African-American community and beyond.
All text remains the same in this revised edition, with the exception of new study guide questions at the close of each chapter. The questions can be used to help facilitate discussions in Sunday School, Bible study, seminary classes, conference workshops and other group or individual studies.
