Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The apostle Paul is recognized as the paramount example of what it means to be a Christian missionary committed to the cause of Christ. In his Second Epistle to the Corinthians, we read of the struggles he endured in establishing the church in Corinth. These struggles gave rise to his exposé of his own paradoxical life and ministry, based on his firm conviction that strength only comes through weakness. Paul, in his confessed weakness, poured out his life as a participant in the sufferings and death of the Savior. He believed that only in such participation would resurrection grace and power be released for the salvation of lost humanity. This letter is a powerful blueprint for missionary training institutes and sending agencies as they prepare, select, and send missionaries to the four corners of the earth.
