{"product_id":"mission-and-development","title":"Mission and development","description":"What happens when Christian mission agencies are entrusted with government funding for development cooperation?\n\nIn 1974, the Finnish government began channelling funds through non-governmental organisations and a few years later the Finnish Pentecostals, Lutherans and Orthodox were running their own government-supported projects in Kenya. For all three the new source of income implied changes - which sometimes brought conflict and chaos. Yet through these development schemes - and through friendly cooperation between Finns and Kenyans - many projects were accomplished and a great number of people were helped. In this book, Jaakko Lounela examines the development work of the Finnish Pentecostal, Lutheran and Orthodox missionaries in Kenya. He shows how deeply-rooted differences in faith led the mission agencies to formulate different solutions to similar problems. The survey also shows that the funds of the Finnish government offered the mission agencies excellent opportunities to expand their work.","brand":"Åbo Akademis Förlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32431240970340,"sku":"9789517653947","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/mission-and-development","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
