Engage
Issue 64 - 2025
In this issue of Engage, we highlight the gift of Education in Lebanon, and how animation can be used to help seekers in the Middle East find Christ. There are reports on earthquakes in both Afghanistan and Myanmar, and on an award from President Zelenskyy of Ukraine that has its origins in your generous support. Read Htoo Lee's beautiful story of transformation, and about the lives of two women whose legacies complete a lifetime of dedication to God's mission through BMS.

Issue 63 – 2025
If you're planning to use the Refugees Welcome resources in your church this harvest, this issue of Engage magazine is essential background reading. You'll get a deep dive into Junior's story from orphan to refugee to child of God after finding hope at the BMS-supported welcome centre in Cyprus. There are also updates from Chad, Thailand, Lebanon and Palestine, and a farewell from Laura Durrant in her final issue as editor.
Issue 62 - 2025
Engage magazine is now smaller (if you order the print version!) but just as accessible, and full of amazing stories from Afghanistan, Uganda, Chad, and Lebanon. There’s a reflection from Daniel Clark about the changing faces of mission, and a tribute to Ann Bothamley who passed away in 2024. What’s more, the BMS Impact Report 2024 is now incorporated into Engage so you can see how your gifts have made a difference!
Mission Catalyst
Issue 1 – 2025 – Seeing into the present
Mission Catalyst is BMS World Mission’s magazine for thinking Christians, providing intelligent comment on faith and culture. Each issue of Mission Catalyst features Q&As with challenging thinkers, accessible articles and the space to think deeper and more broadly on the most important issues facing our world. This issue grew out of this year's Baptist Assembly and is full of challenging contributions around the theme of God's mission from Ben Francis, Saba Riazi, Aniu Kevichusa, Savannah Bell, Levino Liegise, Sam Chaise, Ttendo Miller and Nana-Natalia Lester-Bush.

Issue 2 – 2024 – The defiance of unquiet women
This issue of Mission Catalyst (in its new A5 format) was conceived in the light of Project Violet, an extensive investigation into women's experiences in Baptist ministry in the UK. With a variety of voices including Pastor Jyoti Ratna, Rev Dr Amutha Deveraj, Dr Valérie Duval-Poujol, Ttendo Miller, Debora Röhl, and Rev Dr Simon Woodman, plus photos by Jesse Johnson and Natalia-Nana Lester-Bush's regular column, Mission Catalyst uses Project Violet to shine a brighter light into women's experiences across the globe.
Issue 1 – 2024 – Are you sitting comfortably?
This issue of Mission Catalyst celebrates 75 years of the International Baptist Theological Seminary. Mike Pears addresses questions of space and exclusion, David Burau, Kieryn Wurts and Matt Norman think about why we need theology, and Marion Carson shares a story of grounded theology in a pastoral context. There’s shelf awareness from Ingeborg te Loo and Natalia-Nana’s regular column examines othering, while Malky Currie’s page designs expand your exploration of all these themes.
