Changing Frontiers of Mission

May 1999

American Society of Missiology Series

By Wilbert R. Shenk

​​Changing Frontiers of Mission reflects on the history of missions and
seeks to discern its path for the future. Ever since Jesus’ time,
mission must precede the church. The renewal of the church is linked to
recovery of this priority of mission. Unlike in the past, where the
"frontier" was a geographical location, the future "frontier" is
symbolized by outward movement, away from the status quo, and toward new
challenges, growth and opportunities.
