520 _aWhat is missions? Is anything missions? Or are only some things missions? Where should we be sending missionaries? Who should we be sending as missionaries? Should I go as a missionary? This book seeks to answer some of these questions. "Mission to Where?" challenges Western churches to be more involved in missions, and when they do, to do so in a more biblical manner. This book looks at the biblical basis of mission, and how this applies today. it also looks at the state of Christianity in different parts of the modern world. It closes with a practical section on how to prepare to be a missionary, including how to know if you might be called to be one. This book is very challenging, but it is not too long and is written in an easy-to-read style. Read, enjoy and be challenged.--Back cover.
