Michael Frost (minister)

Michael Frost is the Vice Principal of Morling College and the Founding Director of the Centre for Evangelism & Global Mission, a mission study centre located at Morling College in Sydney, Australia.

He is the author or editor of eight theological books, the most recent of which are the highly successful and award-winning The Shaping of Things to Come (2003, co-authored with fellow missiologist Alan Hirsch) and Exiles (2006). Both books explore a missiological framework for the postmodern era. The popularity of Frost's books has led to regular speaking engagements at Christian conferences in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and as far afield as Nairobi, Rio de Janeiro, and Moscow.

Frost was one of the founding leaders of the Forge Mission Training Network, based in Melbourne, and the founder of the alternative Christian community, smallboatbigsea, based in Manly on Sydney's north shore. He is the weekly religion columnist for The Manly Daily and helped establish Action Against Poverty, a small, localised aid agency linking the cities of Manly and Manado, an impoverished Indonesian community.
