Introducing MOSAIC

MOSAIC is a film project bringing together stories of integral mission from around the world. The mission of God is bigger than any individual or any church or any organisation. But when we start to put all the little pieces together, we start to get a picture of the breadth, diversity and beauty of this mission. Below are 5 short films sharing some of these stories.

Citizens

Christians from around the world share their stories of working for justice and shalom in their different contexts.

Fragments

There are many different ways that Christians understand mission across the world today. Even when Jesus was walking on the earth, there was plenty of confusion, as his behaviour defied many people’s understanding of God and his priorities.

Make Poverty Personal

Poverty is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. But poverty is not new. And neither is God’s deep concern for the poor–it is a theme deeply woven throughout the Bible. Yet sadly, churches and individual Christians have too often been blind to this emphasis, or they have been paralyzed into inaction by feelings of helplessness.

In this urgent, provocative book, Ash Barker offers both challenge and hope. Pulling out and reflecting on significant passages from both testaments, he reveals what the Bible says about both the nature of poverty and about how God calls his people to respond. These studies, ideal for either individual or small group use, are interlaced with personal reflections–first-hand accounts from fifteen years of ministry among the poor.

The Mission of God

Chris Wright believes that there is a missional basis for the whole Bible – it is generated by, and is all about, God’s mission. He offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging interpretative approach as the basis for holistic Christian mission.
