Global Mission Handbook: A Guide for Crosscultural Service

Considering a career in crosscultural ministry? Veteran mission professionals Steve Hoke and Bill Taylor offer a practical guide for preparing for intercultural missions. They provide resources for personal spiritual preparation as well as crosscultural skills and hands-on missionary training. They outline the process for finding actual placement with a sending church, mission agency or organization, with key questions you should be asking along the way. This guide also includes material on the latest developments and issues in mission, such as

• religious pluralism and Jesus
• globalization and culture
• business as mission and community development
• global poverty and human trafficking
• HIV/AIDS and malaria
• international justice and commercial sex workers

And it is filled with real-life examples of people mobilizing for mission around the world. Previously published as Send Me! Your Journey to the Nations, this handbook has been completely revised and significantly expanded to be even more comprehensive and useful. Global Mission Handbook is an indispensable guide for following God's call wherever he may lead you.
