A must-read practical guide for leaders hoping to serve in Asian American contexts!" ~ Tom Lin, President/CEO of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship "DJ Chuang has had his finger on the pulse of multi-ethnic church development for more than twenty years. Throughout that time, he has informed the growth of the Movement through observation, research, personal networking, and the dissemination of promising practices. In his new book, MultiAsian.Church, DJ provides us with a deeper understanding of the unique contributions and challenges of multi-Asian ministry, and adds to the growing body of literature informing the future of the American Church." ~ Dr. Mark DeYmaz, Pastor of Mosaic Church of Central Arkansas, President of Mosaix Global Network, Author of Building a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church and Disruption: Repurposing the Church to Redeem the Community "Are multi-Asian churches different than multi-ethnic ones? What are the implications for ministry in the West, since Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial grouping in the United States? There is no one more qualified than DJ to answer these questions. Let DJ take you on a journey into the multi-Asian church with his decades of both personal and professional experience through thinking, studying, teaching, and living out these ideas." ~ Daniel Im, Co-Author of Planting Missional Churches and Director of Church Multiplication at NewChurches.com

Book excerpt: Through personal stories, proven experience, and a thorough analysis of the biblical text, Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church illustrates both the biblical mandate for the multi-ethnic church and the seven core commitments required to bring it about. Mark DeYmaz, pastor of one of the most proven multi-ethnic churches in the country, writes from both his experience and his extensive study of how to plant, grow, and encourage more ethnically diverse churches. He argues that the "homogenous unit principle" will soon become irrelevant and that the most effective way to spread the gospel in an increasingly diverse world is through strong and vital multi-ethnic churches. Apart from ethnically and economically diverse relationships, we cannot understand others different from ourselves, develop trust for others who are different than us, and/or love others different than ourselves. Apart from understanding, trust, and love, we are less likely to get involved in the plight of others different than ourselves. Without involvement, nothing changes, and the disparaging consequences of systemic racism remain entrenched in our culture. Surely, it breaks the heart of God to see so many churches segregated ethnically or economically from one another, and that little has changed in the many years since it was first observed that eleven o'clock on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in the land.

Book excerpt: This book, People of Faith, People of Jeong (Qing), seeks to reveal and understand the current state and the future prospective of Asian Canadian immigrant churches (ACIC), including Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean churches. Starting with a brief chronicle of ACIC history, this book shares the journeys and the stories of current members of lay and clergy from various ACIC. The chapters attempt to explain the influence and the impact that jeong and faith have on these churches, to envisage the future of ACIC, and to draw relevant implications for the betterment of these churches going into the future. This book reflects the real voices and sentiments of the first- and the second-generation members of these ethnic Asian immigrant churches in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It is original, authentic, comprehensive, and inclusive in its perspectives--the first book of its kind on Asian immigrant churches in Canada. The book will serve as an inspiration and a practical guide for immigrant churches in cross-cultural and cross-generational transitions. It offers laypeople, church leaders, and clergies a critical reference as they navigate through the future of churches in North America and beyond.

Book excerpt: Well-meaning church leaders and planters often set out to radically transform their communities for Christ-kingdom causes. Their aspirations and visions are limitless. However, often the best-laid plans fail to yield results of any consequence—they become frustrated, and pull the plug leaving behind the remnants of all their best intentions. Does it have to be this way? Is it possible for a local church to become so influential in its community that it becomes a life-giving agent for believers and non-believers? A resource that becomes the catalyst whereby abandoned buildings are repurposed, small businesses attracted, jobs created, crime reduced, justice progressed, health improved, and ultimately, the kingdom of God advanced in such a way that it impacts the every corner of the community? In Disruption: Repurposing the Church to Redeem the Community, Dr. Mark DeYmaz explains why such an outlook it not only possible but essential for the church to gain credibility and relevance in the community it seeks to influence. Genuine transformation never occurs through maintaining the status quo. A Disruption is often the missing ingredient that moves the church from ineffective to radically transformative.

Download or read book Finding Our Voice written by Matthew D. Kim. This book was released on 2020-06-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one preaches in a cultural vacuum. The message of what God has done in Christ is good news to all, but to have the greatest impact on its hearers--or even to be understood at all--it must be culturally contextualized. Finding Our Voice speaks clearly to an issue that has largely been ignored: preaching to Asian North American (ANA) contexts. In addition to reworking hermeneutics, theology, and homiletics for these overlooked contexts, Kim and Wong include examples of culturally-specific sermons and instructive questions for contextualizing one's own sermons. Finding Our Voice is essential reading for all who preach and teach in ANA contexts. But by examining this kind of contextualization in action, all who preach in their own unique contexts will benefit from this approach.
