Here to There: How to Get to Your Mission Field, Revised Edition

by David Meade, Propempo International (Contributor)

What happens after you feel God's call to missions? How can you move along the path from initial commitment HERE to actual arrival THERE in missionary service? What convictions, character, competencies, and chemistry do you need to become qualified for long-term ministry in challenging mission fields. More than 8 out of 10 missionary candidates fail to get to the field. Many intend to go; few make it. Do you want to make it? Do you want to be part of the 15% who actually arrive on the mission field? This book is written for you! This book guides the reader (and their sending church) through eight practical steps to get from initial missions commitment to departure for the field. Practical applications and resources are provided for each chapter.

Not so much a book, as a guide for any future missionaries. Helpful but not in depth.

[Jordan Walter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent resource for anyone considering missions. Incredibly practical and easy read!

Sencillo. Te orienta sobre los puntos basicos. Los recursos adicionales que te recomienda son muy utiles.

Good topic. *Lots* of excellent advice. But marred by its biases: that the reader should come from the author's Reformed religious tradition and intend to become a church-planter among the unreached. For those that are, he provides detailed directives on what to do next. Could be much stronger if he backed off a bit and acknowledged the possibility of a greater diversity of paths from "here" to "there."
