Michael Frost (minister)

Michael Frost (born 1961) is an internationally recognised Australian missiologist^[1] and one of the leading voices in the missional church movement. Frost is the Vice Principal of Morling College and the founding Director of the Tinsley Institute, a mission study centre located at Morling College in Sydney, Australia.^[2]

He is the author or editor of a number of theological books, the most recent of which are the popular and award-winning, The Shaping of Things to Come (2003), Exiles (2006) and ReJesus (2009). These books explore a missional framework for the church in a postmodern era. Frost's work has been translated into German, Korean and Spanish. Their popularity has seen him regularly speaking at conferences in the US, the UK and across Europe, and as far afield as Nairobi, Rio de Janeiro and Moscow.

He was one of the founders of the Forge Mission Training Network and the founder of the missional Christian community, smallboatbigsea, based in Manly in Sydney’s north. He is the weekly religion columnist for The Manly Daily and helped establish Action Against Poverty, a localised micro-financing agency, linking the cities of Manly and Manado, an impoverished Indonesian community.
