Millions of people in major religious traditions such as Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism are coming to Christ in unprecedented numbers. At the same time, those laboring on the frontlines-and their partners back home-face a daunting array of complexities and challenges. Mission: Possible combines more than 40 years of lived practice and research among many unreached people groups. Daniel Sinclair, who lives in the Middle East, pulls together major threads which inform and guide practice in pioneering movements ministry, beginning with a foundational understanding of apostleship. Set forth in Mission: Possible are demonstrated practices with tangible results including understanding church planting movements, what to do about baptism, and even how wise stewarding of your own time as a practitioner impacts everything you do. Rather than simply talking about these subjects, Sinclair shows how to do these things. With a strong biblical basis, and years of experience in oversight, coaching and direct ministry, Sinclair’s book is a must-read for anyone serious about reaching the unreached.

Unwanted at birth and born out of wedlock no-one would have considered that Greg Livingstone would become a pioneer in missions to unreached Muslim peoples. Greg Livingstone has spent a lifetime planting churches in Muslim communities and can testify to the life-changing power of the gospel in even the most unpromising circumstances. Greg’s burden for the millions of Muslims who had no gospel witness amongst them led to the launching of Frontiers, a mission agency focusing exclusively on church planting amongst Muslim communities.
