| Summary: | The Nehemiah model for Christian missions provides a comprehensive approach to world evangelism based upon a holistic ministry to human needs. The model integrates the physical with the spiritual, the idealistic with the realistic, and the individual with the communal. The model confronts human hurts (felt needs) and advocates pragmatic solutions (real needs). The model places considerable demands upon the missionary, as an agent of change, to relate to the total situation: economic, social, political, and religious. It also places considerable demands upon the local people: to address local problems, to mobilize local resources, to seek local solutions, and to modify local customs. |
