Sharing the stories of Syrian refugees and Indian slum dwellers, Das positions their voices within a missiological framework of contextualization, seeking to understand what attracts the marginalized to the gospel of Christ. This book is filled with practical insights for those ministering to the world's poor in contexts of missions, development, or local outreach. It also offers a powerful glimpse into the identity of the crucified God who knows human pain and does not turn his back on human suffering.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Rupen Das</note> <subject> <topic>Conversion -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christian Ministry -- Missions Evangelistic work</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">266</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R945-D23</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781839732737</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12898/p.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12898/p.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071204.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
