One of the major shifts in the last few decades is the decentralized nature of international mission engagement. Large centralized denominational boards are no longer the hub for international missions as the world has become flat. So the local church is now the central hub for international mission engagement. As a result the central focus of this book is on equipping the local church. If you are a leader of your international missions committee, a short-term mission leader, a mission catalyst, or a part of any of those teams this book is for you. It seeks to equip international missions committees, team leaders, mission pastors, directors of mission, or mission team leaders to engage effectively through long-term partnerships. This book lays out a theological framework for missions and seeks to connect that to a practical and devotional resource for teams and churches.
