A Directory of Articles for May-August 1996 Cover Story: Worship and Missions When Linked They Become the Key to World Evangelization

Welcome to the May-August 1996 issue of Mission Frontiers. The vision of God being worshiped and adored by every tribe and tongue is seen in Rev.
5:9. But this vision is now capturing the hearts of millions as a God centered motivation for missions. In this issue we feature that connection between worship and missions and how the two are inextricably tied together.  Worship is the fuel and goal of missions and missions leads to more worship.  Don't miss the landmark article by John Piper, taken from his book, Let the Nations Be Glad. These are articles and concepts that you will want to pass on to your pastors and friends. Please send us your thoughts and comments.
