| Summary: | This article examines the conversion process from multiple perspectives in order to understand its implications for the practice of mission. In the first section the conversion process is critically analysed. Having considered the meaning of conversion from an evangelical perspective, the structure of conversion within Christian theology and contemporary social-scientific research is discussed. This analysis is then used to identify specific practical implications for the mission of the local church. The proposals advanced focus on the implications for the strategy of the church, its need for contextual awareness, for empowering and equipping church members to be advocates for the faith, and the message and actions it employs.
