As the landscape and scope of missions change through the centuries, so does the terminology used in describing the field. It is important to realize the significance of the different terms used today. We learned in Moreau, Corwin and McGee’s text book, Introducing World Missions: A Biblical, Historical, Practical Survey that, missions (ending in the letter “s”) is the word that is used to describe “the specific task of making disciples of all nations.” Mission, on the other hand, “refers to everything the church does that points toward the Kingdom of God.” An even newer term in mission circles is mission Dei, Latin for “the sending of God.”…

The purpose of this paper is to briefly discuss how biblical principals can be applied to topics covered in corporate finance. In Matthew 25: 14-30, the Parable of Talents is introduced. In this parable a master gives three of his servants some talents (which could be interpreted as money) according to their own ability. Two of the servants were able to earn twice the amount given to them. The third servant, however, earns nothing. As a result the master praises the two servants and criticizes the third. This parable along with the stories of Joseph and Daniel are used throughout this paper to give biblical insight on how to properly manage monetary resources and as a source of guidance when faced with decisions concerning finance. Some key principals discussed are risk taking, interest, and liquidity..…
The Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, had remarkable zeal for missions and they wanted to impact the world by winning souls. The Recollects sent an invitation to the Order that in New France (now Canada) there were Native Indians that needed to be Christianized. The church chose to send Jean Brebeuf who had entered the Society in 1617, a man who devoted his life to serve the Lord. This endeavour would not be easy, awaiting them was a group of unchurched, uncivilized, “savage” people who had different cultural beliefs and language that could impede the effectiveness of their evangelism.…

A mission trip can provide an opportunity for Americans to share their talents and resources with the people of third world countries. While in a foreign country, one can build wells, vaccinate, donate, educate, and share the Christian faith. Working to improve the lives of poorer nations also has tremendous rewards for the volunteers. You will get so much more than you give. Volunteering abroad will broaden your perspective, give you a chance to see the benefits of your donation, and change your life forever by giving you a competitive edge in the job market, developing unique friendships, and strengthening your relationship with God.…
