It scholarly and practically frames a pathfinder of cross-cultural discipleship and subsequential multiplication of disciples and churches in global contexts. Developing the biblical lens and missional lifestyle both at home and over cultures enables Christians to pursue a life of blessing for the nations. The book challenges the readers to experience the shift of their worldviews and to model a contextual mindset to willingly go into the Majority World and make disciples of all nations.

The future challenge of the global church will generally fall under the category of (1) an anti-Christian religious society or (2) an atheistic society or (3) secularized metamodern (post-postmodern) society. 2 Timothy 3:12 affirms that everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. This book is full of anecdotes, research, and biblical exhortations on the subject of Christian suffering from either form of persecution or temptation. It provides field-tested and validated suggestions for anyone serving in missions in difficult places and circumstances and following Christ either in the free world or gospel-restricted world.
