Gene Wilson

In this book, Wilson gives a thoroughly biblical foundation for gospel movements. He takes us back to the New Testament and walks us through examples from missions history. He compares different types of gospel movements and demonstrates that, at their core, gospel movements make, mature, and multiply disciples. They are found not only in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe, the Americas, and throughout the world. Based on twenty years of experience, Wilson gives practical principles and real-life stories that will help church planting catalysts maximize their effectiveness as they come alongside emerging movements around the world. He shares the collective wisdom of national movement leaders and missionary catalysts to help us engage and assist developing movements without doing harm. This book offers a realistic portrayal of the challenges and sacrifices involved in launching gospel movements and constructive pathways to strengthen their growth. With insights from this book, movement leaders and external catalysts can contribute synergistically according to the stage of the movement--pioneer penetration, local multiplication, regional organization, or global participation. Humble facilitators who embrace biblical priorities and best practices will play a constructive role. Read this book prayerfully considering how God can use you to add value to a gospel movement.

This is the story of Elvis Aaron Presley, the great entertainer who was once named "the most popular man in the world". Without a doubt, he was the very best singer of my generation. "Elvis Presley was the greatest cultural force in the 20th Century," said the famous composer Leonard Bernstein. He also was a good actor but he never managed to land serious roles. I followed him since he played my hometown two times in 1955. I truly loved him as a fan and it saddened me to no end when it all ended August 16, 1977.

With nearly fifty years combined global church-planting experience, Craig Ott and Gene Wilson are well qualified to write a comprehensive, up-to-date guide for cross-cultural church planting. Combining substantive biblical principles and missiological understanding with practical insights, this book walks readers through the various models and development phases of church planting. Advocating methods that lead to church multiplication, the authors emphasize the role of the missionary church planter. They offer helpful reflection on current trends and provide best practices gathered from research and empirical findings around the globe. The book takes up a number of special issues not addressed in most church planting books, such as use of short-term teams, partnerships, and wise use of resources. Full of case studies and real examples from around the world, this practical text will benefit students, church planters, missionaries, and missional church readers.

This is a true story of an ambitious, young man who has been in the Sofia Central Penitentiary for almost 11 years--for a crime that he denies doing. He was sent to this hell hole for allegedly stealing money from his own company. The Interpol and Bulgarian law officials say he stashed the money in Canadian banks or hid it off shore. But they have not found a nickel. In the meantime, Michael Kapoustin remains in the SCP, buried deep in the bowels of this 100-year-old outdated prison.
