Info

Ask a Missionary gives concise and practical insight for those pursuing missionary service. Larry Walker Regional director, Advancing Churches in Missions Commitment (ACMC) The questions in Ask a Missionary are the ones being asked by my students. The answers given are superb. I’m going to require my students to read this book. Howard Culbertson Professor, Southern Nazarene University The path to missionary service is poorly marked. Those who have gone before could be of great help, if you could know their answers to your questions. With Ask a Missionary, now you can. David Mays Director of learning initiatives, The Mission Exchange
