Abstract
The global church enters the new millennium with a radically changed face and missionary situation. One of the results of post-colonialism and the globalization of mission is the declaration of the “post-missionary” era. This means that the only way Western missionaries can continue to engage in cross-cultural mission in today's world is by discovering and incarnating new images. The Bible offers the suggestive images of penitent sinner, beggar, friend, neighbor, follower, disciple, participant-observer, listener, and learner, which might mark the continuing conversion of the missionary today. These images flow from the triune God's self-emptying, self-giving, other-receiving, and other-empowering mission.
