Book excerpt: Avoid "Get-Rich-Quick" Missions Strategies and Invest in Effective, Long-Term Ministry Trendy new missions strategies are a dime a dozen, promising missionaries monumental results in record time. These strategies report explosive movements of people turning to Christ, but their claims are often dubious and they do little to ensure the health of believers or churches that remain. How can churches and missionaries address the urgent need to reach unreached people without falling for quick fixes? In No Shortcut to Success, author and missionary Matt Rhodes implores Christians to stop chasing silver-bullet strategies and short-term missions, and instead embrace theologically robust and historically demonstrated methods of evangelism and discipleship—the same ones used by historic figures such as William Carey and Adoniram Judson. These great missionaries didn't rush evangelism; they spent time studying Scripture, mastering foreign languages, and building long-term relationships. Rhodes explains that modern missionaries' emphasis on minimal training and quick conversions can result in slipshod evangelism that harms the communities they intend to help. He also warns against underestimating the value of individual skill and effort—under the guise of "getting out of the Lord's way"—and empowers Christians with practical, biblical steps to proactively engage unreached groups. Biblical Ministry Advice: Examines the work of respected missionaries throughout history Encourages Professionalism in Missions: Rhodes teaches missionaries to invest in theological education, communication, and technical skills A Great Resource for Ministries: Includes specific advice for singles, parents, and other groups Insightful: Examines strengths and weaknesses of recent missionary movements

Download or read book How The Other Half Learns written by Robert Pondiscio and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at America's most controversial charter schools, and the moral and political questions around public education and school choice. The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In How the Other Half Learns, teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz, who has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted. Her results are astonishing, her methods unorthodox. Decades of well-intended efforts to improve our schools and close the "achievement gap" have set equity and excellence at war with each other: If you are wealthy, with the means to pay private school tuition or move to an affluent community, you can get your child into an excellent school. But if you are poor and black or brown, you have to settle for "equity" and a lecture--about fairness. About the need to be patient. And about how school choice for you only damages public schools for everyone else. Thousands of parents have chosen Success Academy, and thousands more sit on waiting lists to get in. But Moskowitz herself admits Success Academy "is not for everyone," and this raises uncomfortable questions we'd rather not ask, let alone answer: What if the price of giving a first-rate education to children least likely to receive it means acknowledging that you can't do it for everyone? What if some problems are just too hard for schools alone to solve?

Download or read book One Book for Life Success written by Venu G. Somineni and published by Venu G Somineni. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know, there is a reason why only five percent of the world population is successful while only a very small percentage of the population loves what they do today. Life is all about a series of choices and experiences. Success can be defined by many ways - it exists in the context of who you are, what you love, where you are now, what is the purpose of life, and what do you want to achieve. For instance, many people who achieve fortunes in the world are not born rich. Over 70% of the world's billionaires are self-made. According to Forbes (Oct09), there are 274 billionaires of the top 400 richest people in America, and they are all self-made. They literally started from zero and made their fortunes from there. If you look at the world population ratio between the rich and the poor and middle classes, it has always been 5%:95%. There are thousands of books written in the areas of personal development, success, career growth, inspiration, finance management, investment techniques and more. However, no significant change has happened yet, and very few can turn their dreams into reality. There is a large gap between the goal-setting process and making the achievement of the goal a reality today. Unfortunately, nobody was born with a manual containing a set of best practices and instructions for success. Like math, there is a true formula for success. In this book, I have shared deep insights, advice on best habits, practices, and secrets and much more, which are utilized by successful people. Knowing the best practices is one thing, but following them sincerely is what makes the real difference. At the end of this book, your eyes will be open, and you will realize many things including; the best practices for success, secrets behind successful people, what it takes to be successful, your strengths, your passions, your dreams, where you're stuck now, where you're heading, how to manifest your dreams in a short time; what is life all about, how to be happy forever and much, much more. This book is for students, employees, business people, and of course, for all the successful people to achieve even more.WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK...
