"A superb idea! A much-needed complement to the public relations efforts of Western missions organizations."—

"Evangelicals have been proclaimed as the ‘new internationalists.’ To be involved, they need to be informed. World Christiantargets that need directly."
—Ken MacHarg, Latin American Mission
"In a day when Christianity has moved beyond the West, many mission magazines are nevertheless unabashedly self-promoting.... World Christiantakes us beyond sectarian or organizational self-interest to tell the stories of those men and women whose extraordinary lives and ministries are key to the greatest Christian surge since the first century."
—Dr. Jonathan Bonk, Executive Director, Overseas Ministries Study Center; Editor, International Bulletin of Missionary Research
"John Lindner is one of the most experienced writers in the American mission community at telling the heroic stories of the non-Western mission movement. His work will open your eyes and touch your heart."
—Bob Savage, Partners International
"John’s plan for a revived World Christianshould become a valuable tool for all churches that have a missionary vision to expand the kingdom of God, particularly in places where activity by American missionaries is restricted or forbidden. The flow of information which Christian Aid receives from almost every country needs to be communicated to a much wider audience than we are able to provide. We pray that World Christianmight be that channel."
—Dr. Bob Finley, Chairman & CEO, Christian Aid Mission
"God is doing amazing things around the world, but the church in North America rarely hears these stories. We are drowning in a cacophony of bad news. John Lindner's vision is to relaunch World Christianmagazine to tell about the heroic struggles of national missionaries laying down their lives to advance the kingdom. We need to be inspired by the victories ... learn from the difficulties... rejoice in the changed lives. I heartily endorse relaunching World Christian. John's professionalism will make it a great publication. Put me on the subscription list right now!"
—Jim Ferrier, Communications Director, HCJB World Radio
"John Lindner is a talented writer and editor with an astute understanding of world missions. Having worked closely with him for over 10 years, I can attest to his breadth of knowledge concerning God’s work around the world and his ability to capture its essence in a probing and insightful writing style. His 25 years in the missions arena has given John an extensive network of contacts in all corners of the globe and the Christian journalistic world. These contacts enable him to both gather first-hand ministry information that can be relied on and disseminate it effectively to the wider body of Christ."
—Lance Thollander, President, Hope Builders International
"Missions have gone global in ways that would astound Christian leaders of 40 years ago! World Christiancould be a magazine for the 21st Century that reflects 21st Century realities and would be an eye-opener to many. World evangelization is our goal—may this vision be set out so plainly that he who runs may read it!"
—Patrick Johnstone, Operation World
