From it’s earliest days the Christian church has always engaged in cross-cultural mission, taking the good news of Jesus Christ to every nation and people group.
It remains an important task to equip & train those called to serve God in another culture, language or country. Dealing with issues of calling, character and competency Mike Frisby offers practical and wise advice for the local church.
Reaching the Nations will help local church leadership in identifying, recruiting, equipping, sending & supporting those called to cross-cultural mission.
