Paul Orjala
by R. Franklin Cook Paul Orjala was a versatile, multi-talented man. He radiated energy and took steps three at a time. Paul utilized his talents to multiply churches and reach those who were deemed unreachable. He trained thousands of leaders, from students in Nazarene schools to the locals on the mission field. Paul Orjala is built on the life and philosophy of this remarkable man. With his inquisitive mind and energetic spirit, Paul studied, wrote, and lectured in a way that gave form and substance to a mission philosophy that shaped the mission field for the entire Nazarene denomination.

Vistas
Compiled by R. Franklin Cook For the Church of the Nazarene, creating a climate for the Holiness message is our primary purpose. It is in that climate and against the landscape of shattering global events that we work. It is here and now that disciples are made, nurtured, and incorporated into the indigenous Body of Christ. Vistas is the attempt by several writers to give a taste of what’s happening on the mission field. Written in their own words and based on their own experiences, their reflections are designed to bring the philosophy of missions up to the moment and into the future. Here they offer you an understanding—a vista—of the landscape of missions. Adult Reading Book
