Description:
How will the remaining tasks of the Great Commission be realized?
What distinctive role does the Spirit-empowered movement
play in this realization?
Scholars and practitioners from around the globe gathered online at the 2021 Scholars Consultation
of Empowered21 to reflect and strategize on these questions in light of the audacious goals set by
Empowered21: "That every person on earth would have an authentic encounter with Jesus Christ
through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit...by Pentecost 2033." This book is a curated
collection of the resulting conversations, with both original and subsequently commissioned studies.
This book is organized into sections of "Foundational," "Geographic," and "Strategic." In this way,
the reader may grapple with the biblical, theological, and historical impetus for Spirit-empowered
witness in part one, read engaging summaries of the Spirit-empowered movement in specific regions
of the world in part two, and join the authors in actively strategizing context-specific approaches
in part three.
This book presents a unique invitation to enter the conversation on the role and contribution of each
individual and faith community in fulfilling the remaining tasks of the Great Commission.
Review Quotes:
The Remaining Task of the Great Commission is an urgently needed topic reminding the body
of Christ that the commission of Jesus has not yet been completed. While not an exhaustive
record, this book introduces you to many nations and people groups, enumerating the
myriad ways in which the Holy Spirit has worked through people to make Jesus known.
We press on to complete this glorious task!
Bishop LaDonna Osborn
President, Osborn Ministries International
The Remaining Task shows that the Holy Spirit uses people throughout the centuries in the
same way as in the Acts of Apostles. Indeed, the DNA of the Church of Jesus Christ lies in
the true ministry of the Holy Spirit as it was in the day of Pentecost. I highly appreciate and
endorse this book for all Christian workers as it challenges the Christian to take the right
steps towards fulfilling the Great Commission.
Bishop Eli Rop
General Secretary, The Full Gospel Churches of Kenya
This book is a substantial contribution to this concerted global effort toward the evangelization
of the world. . . I am sure that this book is offered to the global Spirit-empowered
churches, mission organizations, and countless frontline workers as a valuable resource
(from the Foreword).
