HERE to THERE: Getting From Commitment to Commissioning

You are committed to missions. In fact, you've recently made a commitment to become a missionary. Now what do you do? This book will guide you from initial missionary commitment to your commissioning launch out to the field. Following the guidelines in "HERE to THERE: Getting From Commitment to Commissioning," you will build upon a strong foundation of a high view of God, Jesus Christ, the Gospel, Scripture, and the local church. You will be prepared, step-by-step, along the path to gain the insight, skills, tools, and resources you need to be a faithful long-term missionary. If you want to be a part of seeing reproducing indigenous local churches planted among those last 6,000 unreached people groups, you'll want to read and reread the principles taught in "HERE to THERE: From Commitment to Commissioning." It can be your and your church's map to successful sending of quality workers to those most needy fields of service.
