Professor of Missions and Intercultural Studies,
Oral Roberts University
Julie Ma holds a PhD in mission studies from the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS) and an MA in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. She spent 10 years as a missionary professor at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary in the Philippines, followed by another 10 years as a research tutor at OCMS. Her research interests include power evangelism and ministry among Pentecostal women.
Dr Julie is presently a professor at Oral Roberts University, where she specialises in intercultural studies and missions. With over 20 years of teaching experience, she is a passionate advocate for mission work, particularly in the areas of church planting, Pentecostal spirituality, and the role of the Holy Spirit in mission, particularly among tribal groups in the mountains of the Philippines.
Dr Julie has authored and co-edited numerous books, including Mission Possible: Biblical Strategy for the Lost (2016), and received the Award of Excellence in 2009 for her chapter on women in Asian Pentecostalism.
In various Asian countries, women have suffered from gender inequity regarding access to leadership positions, career prospects, and education.
However, as time passes, society and the church allow women to benefit from opportunities to pursue teaching and higher education jobs.
The place of women in the Asian Church and their global impact on Christianity are apparent.
Some Asian women impacted the scholarly community of local and international churches.
It will be a great help to other women to see their distinct and essential roles in influencing worldwide Christianity through my perspective on my journey through academic environments and sharing with other women researchers.
Many separate the atonement from Pentecost to the degree that the link between them is lost. I wish to explore that link. The link is based on the insight that the cross of Christ is not limited to Israel. Rather, Christ seeks at the cross to open his life to all peoples, redeeming persons “from every tribe, and language, and people, and nation” (Rev. 5:9) and breaking down the wall of hostility between them (Eph. 2:14-16). The Spirit is poured out on all peoples at Pentecost in loyalty to the cross and for the sake of the crucified and risen Christ.
