Review :
Some of the sharpest thinkers in the world church are doing grassroots ministry in eastern nations. As their countries cannot afford specialist writers, their insights are often lost to the church worldwide. This is a shame because the church would be greatly enriched by their insights. I am so glad for this book, which is introducing to a wider audience the thinking and experiences of some of our outstanding leaders. - AJITH FERNANDO, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka Seldom is the Eastern leadership voice, especially of church leaders, heard. This book is a refreshing departure from the usual. Many themes run through this book, offering a reality from the grassroots of church leadership. It is a delightful reading of visions, aspirations, dreams, struggles and strivings of leaders of local churches in Asia-a guide for those who want to know the issues of Asian church leadership. I endorse this book as an invitation to journey into the world of pastoral leadership in Asia. - REV. C. B. SAMUEL, Advisor, Micah Global, former CEO, The Evangelical Fellowship of India Commission on Relief (EFICOR) In my lifetime, Christianity has become a truly global faith. A few generations ago, Christianity still came mainly from the West to the East. Now, as we become a global Church, it is wonderful to see how our faith impact cultures, peoples, and world views. While we all worship the same Christ, how he is expressed in different places is indeed wonderfully diverse, uniquely creative, and beyond our imagination. This collection of works from Asia sheds light on how God is experienced in different parts of his world. A perspective from our global brothers and sisters not only enriches our own understanding of God, but encourages us once again to see our unique privilege to be involved in his Great Commission. - EDWIN KEH, CEO, The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textile and Apparel Voices in the public square are to be heard! These men and women model their lives, ministries, and calling in societies across Asia. God gives us a beautiful perspective of how he is forming the Church and societies in this young century. - SAMUEL CHIANG, CEO, The Seed Company Our Lord's global vision promoted through his local voices! This book harnesses the good of her past, connects better leaders among the present, and promotes some of the best voices for the future well-being of Christ's Church. If one cares to understand, appreciate, and support growing healthier ministry initiatives through local voices, read about what God is doing in the world's most populous, and therefore precious, region. - RAMESH RICHARD, President, RREACH/Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary; Founder, Trainers of Pastors International Coalition [TOPIC] Testimony builds faith. Reflection develops depth. Here's a delightful compilation of testimonies and reflections, from different Asian Christian leaders, to build faith and develop depth. I've enjoyed reading it! - EDMUND CHAN, Leadership Mentor, Covenant EFC; Founder, Global Alliance of Intentional Disciplemaking Churches Eastern Voices takes us into the classroom of experienced, godly Christian leaders as they address issues that we in the Western world might not understand. This first of many anticipated volumes is a library of training for people serving in Asia. - PAUL BORTHWICK, Development Associates International, author of Western Christians in Global Mission: What's the Role of the North American Church
