Interview Description: This interview as many others in this series was done with out any editing, it’s “Go with what you got style.��? You will enjoy Dr. Pocock’s practical and theological approach to missions. His view of missiology has differentiated himself from the typical strategy of missions in Spain, in which I find to be both unique and exciting. I have had the privilege spend time with him outside of the classroom and found him to be caring, calculated, and concerned for what God is doing with global migration through out major cities in the world. He has done a great deal of work in this effort to educate others. He has published a number of books, The Changing Face of World Missions , The Centrality of Christ in Contemporary Missions (EMS vol. 12) , Cultural Change and Your Church , "Personnel for Our Generation." in Reaching Our Generation
