Publisher's Description
The legacy of English-speaking missions endeavors for the past century needs a new chapter written related directly to the training and empowerment of national church leaders to reach their own nations for Christ. Why would we deny the indigenous, who best know the language, culture, and people, the greatest advantage in fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ where they both live and will likely die? It is past time that we reassess our missions focus from one of our colonial past to the one Paul gave the church in his final epistle to Timothy. A bright future for the missions endeavor depends on it.

It is not only a book—it is a catalyst for the biblical fulfillment of the Great Commission.”
“For anyone wanting insights into a ‘nationals training nationals’ missionary ministry program that God is greatly blessing and using for the cause of the gospel and his glory, I can heartily recommend this book.”
