Recently published research by Jared Bok on the international ministries of American Christian mission agencies was the focus of an online article in Christianity Today on February 11, 2021. This research documented similarities and differences between Pentecostal/Charismatic and Evangelical agencies, both in terms of where they tend to operate globally as well as the types of ministry activities in which they are most engaged. Bok is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology.
