The 2023 Missio Nexus Mission Leaders Conference was from September 27-29 in Orlando, Florida. Thankfully, there wasn’t a hurricane during it like we encountered last year! The theme was “Shift – Rapid Social Transformation and the Gospel.”
The October 2023 issue of EMQ looks at the intersection of healthcare and missions. From hospitals to clinics to primary care, healthcare continues to open opportunities for the gospel to be shared.
I’m excited to announce a new book that I’ve served as co-editor of over the last 10 or so months has just been released: Essentials of People Care and Development.
The July 2023 issue of EMQ explores technology and missions. Digital technology is rapidly changing how missions is done, who is involved, and where the gospel can be proclaimed.
Evangelical Missions Quarterly (EMQ) received four awards during this year’s Evangelical Press Association (EPA) Convention. In EPA’s Awards of Excellence, EMQ won the top prize in the “Most Improved (Print)” category above DTS Magazine and Christian Leader which both received Awards of Merit.
The April 2023 issue of EMQ delved into the connection between creation care and missions. I learned so much from the writers in this issue. I am thrilled with how it all came together. I hope you will enjoy the issue as much as I do!
January’s edition focuses on Prayer. If you’ve not picked up on it, yet, take note that every issue of EMQ involves the collaboration of a number of people. Of course, EMQ’s staff and the submitting writers, but I also partner with people who help me determine topics and recruit writers. On this issue, a fellow member of International Partnering Associates (IPA), Jenny Oliphant, provided me with critical contacts as well as ideas for thematic content.
Gen Z is the first digital native generation and one that welcomes multicultural friendships. At the same time, in Western countries more and more young people are leaving the church. What does this mean as we engage young people with the gospel and mission? That’s what this edition of EMQ is all about!
EMQ’s April 2022 edition is now out! This is the first edition of the journal that I worked on as the new editor. I worked with about 30 writers from more than 10 countries who all have missions experience to cover the topic of missionary care and wellbeing (member care).
Missio Nexus has selected le Motif to lead the editorial aspect of Evangelical Missions Quarterly (EMQ) starting with the April 2022 edition of the journal. As a part of this agreement, I will serve as fifth editor of EMQ.
