Changing Frontiers of Mission reflects on the history of mission and seeks to discern its path for the future. Ever since Jesus' time, mission must precede the church. The renewal of hte church is linked to recovering 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.
