This article examines the theological meaning and missiological significance of the Fourfold Gospel symbols developed by Albert Benjamin Simpson—Jesus as Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. Employing a literature-based approach and content analysis, this study explores the theological foundations of these symbols and their application within a holistic global mission framework. The findings indicate that the Fourfold Gospel is not merely a doctrinal formulation but a ministry paradigm that integrally addresses spiritual, social, and eschatological dimensions. Simpson’s thought proves to be highly relevant in responding to the contemporary multidimensional crises and offers a contextual and transformative model of proclamation. Accordingly, these symbols remain profoundly pertinent for today’s Church in cultivating ministries that empower both individuals and communities in a comprehensive manner.
