Authentic launches Innovation in Mission


February 7, 2007 – STL/Authentic is pleased to announce a timely and relevant title that will change the way the church embraces new ideas and practices in missions.

In Innovation in Mission: Insights into Practical Innovations Creating Kingdom Impact, Jim Reapsome and Jon Hirst bring together creative national and international mission practitioners to describe new practices in their specialties. Roger Peterson, CEO of STEM Intl, addresses the new ideas surrounding short-term missions and shares case studies from churches, sending agencies, and a radio station. Joseph Vijayam, founder and president of Olive Technology, delves into the realm of tentmaking while Kurt Wilson, president of Compass Outreach Media, concentrates on what he calls “media missionaries.” The innovations they present are real and are influencing the method of missions today.

Scott Moreau, editor of Evangelical Missions Quarterly, said, “Innovation in Mission excites me like no other missions book I’ve ever read; I came away energized and full of new ideas and possibilities.” Greg Yoder, executive director and anchor for Mission Network News, said this book “force[s] reader[s] to think outside the box and become innovators themselves in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.”

Authentic has long been known for its continuing contribution to the subject of missions. For more information about this resource as well as others, please visit www.authenticbooks.com. For more information about the book, please visit www.innovationinmission.com.
