Description
Who is responsible for global missions?
Even though most Christians will never move overseas, the Bible enlists every Christian and every local church in the grand project of global missions. The local church is the engine of world missions. But where should a church begin?
Churches don't need a complicated missions program. They need the Bible and the wisdom to know how to apply it. This book points to Scripture and offers practical steps for training and supporting missionaries, forming international partnerships, sending short-term teams, and engaging the nations both at home and abroad.
Part of the 9Marks Building Healthy Churches series.
Part of the 9Marks: Building Healthy Churches series, which expands on Mark Dever's popular book Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
Written by an experienced missions pastor
Offers personal stories to help readers see principles in practice
Includes a foreword written by David Platt, president of the International Mission Board
