Vol. 5 No. 2 (2025): Margins to Majority: Staying Ahead of the Missions Curve

The Fall 2025 issue of JEMS explores missions in marginal or emerging communities - communities that are likely to become key players in the Great Commission in the near future. The issue begins with an article surveying the use of missions textbooks in classrooms across the U.S. What texts and authors are used to prepare the next generation of missionaries? Keep these textbook topics in mind as you move on and read articles on mission in an increasingly secular world, mission to storyformed Gen Z, discipleship in the growing Asian-American church context, and mission by Christian Chinese international students to other UPGs on college campuses. The issue concludes with reviews of several new books in the field.
